When Does The Soul Enter The Body? Atheist Experience

Superimmortality does not need a soul for there to be life after death. In fact, the concept of a soul would be a limiting factor for superimmortality because if you had only a singular soul then unlike superimmortality that allows many different conscious versions of you to exist at the same time, there could only be only one version of you at a time. This limits the super-ness of superimmortality. Not only that, but it restricts many other positive aspects of superimmortality such as explainability, predictability, usefulness, simplicity of theory, and on top of all of that the soul is a supernatural thing that has very little (no) interaction with reality so that it can not be scientifically studied or used in any technological way. Luckily, there is no soul so all of the positive aspects of superimmortality are still true. One of the purposes of the invention of a soul was to give a way for immortality to exist when as we all know the body dies thus is not immortal.
There is in superimmortality the concept of an awarepaducer that can produce awarepaths that nature can not produce directly. In these artificially created realities any number of supernatural objects can seem to be real with experiential evidence. For instance, in the case of souls where there might be ways of seeing, observing, testing these souls but all within the experience machine creating these kind of experiences. These souls would seem real to the consciousnesses with in the awarepaducer but would not actually exist in reality.
