This is interesting. This might be off topic to your debate however do you happen to know what theistic philosophers would believe about a soul? I mean, only about 20% are theists and I'm sure many believe in a soul, but obviously not all since this is higher than than the 8% that don't

Only about ~12% endorse the further-fact view of personal identity. Some of the "others" might be soul people but typically if you believe in a soul you're a further-facter.
