All the atoms in our bodies recycle on the order of days to years. Take your most significant childhood memory. None of the atoms in your body now were with you at that moment.

Memories are in the form, not the substance (arrangement of brain cells, rather than the cells themselves)?
For instance, Right now. I don't think the original text for the 14th century book I'm reading still exists, but the words do.
Same thing.

If this is true, then why am I still 'me'? What makes me 'me' if every atom of my body is brand spanking new? Something is still the same, and something never left me. I call it my soul.

We get an entirely new body within every 8 years.
Is that why some people are "born again"?

With the exception of your neural tissue, it does not regenerate. Again, why do you see any spirtual implications in any of this, and where are you getting your facts?

God did a really good job in creating us didn't he/she?
Peace!
