I been thinking for a while and did a bit researching, do humans have souls? And if we do have souls what is the function of a soul? This goes into scientific and spiritual beliefs. I personally don't think humans have souls.

Personally, I find the thought of anything which is immaterial and doesn't do anything to help or hinder our perception of reality to be folly.
If there is a soul, being our personality, moral scale and connection to whatever comes after, I think we simply call it conscience.

In addition, the Soul was only first mentioned after the Babylonian Exile, it was not mentioned before that in Judaism, I think God would have mentioned it long before this if it actually existed. Whether it was invented as a metaphor or extra incentive to behave morally, we will never know.

I do believe so, what I don't believe is when people say "when you die your body gets 12kg lighter than before" as if they're trying to say your soul has a physical weight to it

Maybe so, maybe there is something between Science and Spiritual beliefs. But if humans have souls, surely other animals would.

No we have brains

and consciousness is produced within the brain by the electromagnetic fields and chemical interactions

Yes, we do have souls. I can't tell you how I know this. Although, judging by your name if you believe in "demons" you should believe we have souls. Your soul is probably possessed by a demon.
