Seth, you're pigeonholing atheists within your definition of "hardcore atheists". You don't have to know Greek to know your definition of atheism doesn't jive with the denotation of the word.

Furthermore, one can believe in ego without believing in a soul. For that matter one could believe in a soul without believing in a god. But it sees arguable whether either of those beliefs would fit into "hardcore atheism."
