If you do, then what exactly defines a soul in your view?

    In my opinion, souls probably don’t exist. In the absence of evidence that they do, I will assume they don’t. However, to quote Carl Sagan, “the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.” There’s so much about the universe we do not (and maybe cannot ever) know, so perhaps there is something like a soul that continues and our conscious doesn’t end at death, but I don’t think so.

    Asking where does the soul go when we die is like asking what happens to a flame when it’s no longer burning, or what happens to the windows operating system when a computer is decommissioned. Ultimately, we are the human operating system.
