That would be a minority opinion. Generally our understanding of sentience is completely independent of existence of the soul.
There are some exceptions though:
> In Jainism many things are endowed with a soul, jīva, which is sometimes translated as 'sentience'

- int_19h 4y agoWhen you start digging into the colloquial definition of "sentience", it very quickly falls apart, except for the part that is ascribed to soul or some equivalent thereof (basically, something that is not physical). So there's a good reason to suspect that it's really the same thing, just in different philosophical and/or religious trappings.
