The vast majority of humans still believe there is a soul so I think it's fair to say Humanity still thinks so.

  The vast majority of humans have never been in space, yet Humanity has.

    Actions are very, very different from beliefs when we anthropomorphize an abstract notion of a race of people. Humanity is a logical 'or' of all its actions. Beliefs, the operation is much more complicated.

      Unsurprisingly, logic not seeming to be one of your strong suits.

  You don't speak for me.

    I didn't get the impression he was trying to.

    You don't speak for humanity. Believe in souls or not most people do and we need to understand that when we use abstract words like 'humanity believes in x'.

      Composition fallacy.

        Simply naming a logical fallacy isn't an argument. And in fact I claimed it would be fair to suggest humanity believes in souls, I didn't make the claim. Rather, I suggested it is far more reasonable (though not a fact -- "humanity" is an abstract subjective concept with no fixed meaning) to assert humanity believes in souls than that humanity doesn't, a silly assertion the article makes without argument.
