The article says, "To modern science it is, if anything, the hard problem of consciousness, also commonly thought to be the province of just one species."
That's as good a definition as any, doesn't require religious belief, and it doesn't depend on whether Chalmers is right, Dennett is right, or whether your soul (i.e. phenomenal consciousness) survives your death.
Do any scientists claim only humans are conscious though? I can't think of any.
