The following verses say that we can lose, exchange, and sell our soul. What do you think?
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels." - Mark 8,36-38 (KJV)

All people have souls. But as the Jesus said in the verses you quoted we can lose, exchange, and lose it for something like denial of God, wealth, hate, etc. Whether atheists still have souls is not for us to judge. Only God knows if their souls are still there.

Lad, the 'soul' concept is fiction. Neither the atheist nor you have one. You and I and 6 billion others presently living on this little blue rock are primates, not mineral and not vegetable but animal, and the idea of some kind of 'soul' is a rather sad, even pathetic notion. Like it or not, you are born, you live a disastrously short time and then you die and decay away to nothing but a scattering of bones.

I believe in souls, believe it or not. Or at least a spirit, and I'm an Atheist. Otherwise, what would be recycled when we die?
Unfortunately, I can't handle another lifetime on this planet, so I traded my soul for some candy.

Atheists do not have "souls", but then neither do Mormons, Protestants or Priests. There is no such beast.
Think about it, how many "souls" does a zygote have BEFORE it splits into twins (if it's going to). So do identical twins have a half a soul each?

No.
And neither does any Christian, Wiccan, Satanist, Hindu, Buddhist, Asatruar, etc.
Nobody "has a soul".

If there is such a thing as a soul, then atheists have them as surely as believers.
