My belief that I have a soul makes it a fact in itself, to me. And fact is fact. It's definitely not an opinion because my faith tells me that i certainly have a soul because an opinion is a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty, while totally killing the soundness of your argument and claim, which is that a soul doesn't exist. So you try again.
That makes absolutely no sense 👇
You are arguing that your opinion is fact, because you believe it is fact, and since "fact is fact", your opinion is not opinion.
Then you argue that you have evidense to back up your opinion, but do provide it....
As Adam Poe said, Try again

Not necessarily.....since matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, it is logical to beleive that we don't simply cease to be once we die.
Ask yourself...
What is your most purest being ? Are you actually your body ? Are you actually your mind ?
Or are you the composition of everything that makes you exist ?
If so, then that means the food you eat is also "you", and the thoughts you think are also "you"
Does that sound plausible ?
Some people resort to the beleif in a soul, because it's difficult to imagine that we can still exist after death, independent of our bodies and thoughts, without some other enduring substance.
And it's even more difficult to beleive that we simply cease to be, since nothing in science truly "ceases to be"
I don't personally find it irrational to beleive in a soul.
