Similarly it is pefectly reasonable to believe that you have an immortal soul, without the need to believe that it was given to you, by a God.
I'm not trying to be irritating here, but this really doesn't make sense to me.

I thought that the primary arguement atheists have against God is that you can't prove He/She exists (wasn't it you with the purple Llama analogy?)

How is believing you have a soul any different?
