The soul and afterlife are not real. You and I are not immortal and we will die. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Prove it.
Okay I'd say God would be contrary to the laws of physics and there is a total lack of legible evidence. It's unreasonable to believe in things that ascend laws of physics according to the observable reality we live in and are a part of. It also creates a myriad of issues when people believe in the supernatural at any amount of sacrifice towards respecting physical and biological reality.

Who's to say the soul is because of God, or Christianity? There's tons of paths that go on about the life spark, and it's discussing something that does not conform to known physics.
It'd be like explaining radio waves to cavemen.

Radio waves obey the laws of physics. Yes life is a "spark" as in a biological reality strictly within physical reality that involves heat, electricity and other forms of energy.

There may be a form of ethereal physics unknown to us now, that could become known over the course of centuries.

The "soul" is a semantic game.
Sounds like cope.
Sure it can sound that way, but consider other cases. The soul is a categorization of elements, which can change from perspective. And going the route of reductionism or materialism isn't always a safeguard. Even in the scientific way of thinking, narratives are created out of aggregation. The pressure of gasses, for instance. We are not telling the story of each molecule of a gas, we aggregate the overall effect through our scientific and mathematical analysis. That's a given. It's how we parse reality, and with that comes the caveats we are going to miss details, specifics, etc.
It's really akin to compatibalism. The phenomena and processes and other things we humans are concerned about are defined, encapsulated and computed in such a manner we can apply meaningful and in relation to our worldviews. Free will, the kind we care about and how it applies to behavior, society and law, equate much the same regardless to what narrative we give, as our concerns of a sort placed in our prescribed idea or ideal of free will matter in our daily discourse and activity.
On the issue of the soul, it's importance is of a consensus. it's definition needs an agreement or distillation. There is a danger in reductionism leading to the issues of devaluing human lives and their individual, existential "isness". There is a slippery slope there, which, when taken, amounts to much contravalenced to your usual sentiments of distinguishing dignity of difference.
Thrall to the Wire of Self-Excited Circuit.
Free will is not real either. If anything the belief in free will causes a ton of issues. Accepting deterministic and materialistic reality can help people respect everyone's lives more. Free will justifies inequality and poverty within the infrastructure.
