WOW, my very favorite subject, since it so greatly overlaps with so many religions. My claim is that most people are NOT sufficiently unique to claim that they have any soul at all, so there is nothing for them to "save", especially through prayer that probably works to further standardize their brains. Public education also works great for soul-elimination.
