More and more modern philosophers reject the idea of the soul. This has especially come around in the last 50 years. Philosophy has even begun to reject the idea of free will.
However, this idea that religion deals with 'faith' and science deals with 'fact' is an overgeneralized and misleading idea. While science does deal with fact, and religion does deal with faith, the two are not unseparable. I use science to answer as many questions as I can, and then for the unanswerable, I answer based on what I think happened using common sense, and my opinions (just like anyone would, regardless of religion). Religion falls into the latter of unanswerable questions.
If the athiest has been suceessful at anything, it is to make religion and science competators in popular belief. That idea is like making cooking, and physics, competators. It just doesn't make a whole lot of sense, since the two are not really related.
Well, they're going to be competitors until people stop trying to reject facts because their religion says that such facts are blasphemy. And common sense is religion? What's common sense about bible stories, heaven, or really anything involving Christianity? Common sense is that when you die you get eaten by worms.

What's relevant about how much common sense is in Christianity and Swine Flu? If you want a religious debate, do it elsewhere.

I got hit really hard with something really hard last week (which is rare for me), but it only lasted for 24 hours or so. Not sure what it was.

I'd say it would be reasonable to propose the existance of God. Science does nothing to prove one way or the other. Being so closed minded to the possibilities of the universe do disservice to yourself.
