It comes from biology. But if you're willing to call something like agency a "superstition", then I doubt you'd be willing to take my previous arguments into account.

I will say. I am not talking about determinism vs free will blah blah. No! I want to say that the Western idea of personhood, what it means to be a person etc. Agency is only made possible by these ideas. They give you the context to make certain choices. Now the Western idea of personhood is probably incorrect. Either way, it is changing and losing relevance in today's times.

soul doesn't exist

No no no.. see you are discussing things still in terms of what is real or not. You reason, according to your own beliefs, that a soul is not real. By real you mean an idea or a concept in the mind that does not correspond with reality. But nowadays, 'reality' is itself an idea that is becoming irrelevant and this has been discussed by many people who are more competent than me. Once you scrub this modernist way of thinking from your mind, suddenly belief in the soul becomes possible in a new way.
