It's a useful term in sentences like "This hurts my soul", but I don't need the metaphysical claims around it.

No. We are nothing but bags of meat that, over millions of years, evolved a way to think. We feel so high and mighty about ourselves that we made up "something special" about ourselves to set us apart from every other bag of meat on the planet.
