A view of the dresden files in book christians.
--- Quote ---Also the idea of a soul is not limited to Christianity.

It is also about what happens with it. It wouldn't surprise me at all if in the dresden files hindus get reincarnated and christians not. The books are pretty vague about what next is, it is entirely possible.
Besides knowing about the soul and an afterlife is not the same as valueing it. Maybe you want to escape the cycle. Maybe you want to stay behind as a shade to help your descendants. Maybe you want to find a purpose like Mab did.
--- Quote ---Mab also is well aware of the White God, she makes note of it. She has a more knowledgeable, and complete understanding to God's existence making her in some ways closer to God than the most devout religious person who will always have at least a tiny bit of doubt, doubt Mab does not share.

The white god is a title you use if you are not a follower. The white god was not that important in the past and he might not be that important in the future. Things change.
She knows Hades as well, a lot of souls went to the him in stead of the Christian afterlife. She probably expected to go somewhere else.
It is not just about what is but also about how you look at it. Why would she want to be a shade attending some god that is not hers? She has a purpose, she has fullfillment. Eternity is overrated.
Ask Gard, she will tell something similar.
I think Michael will be concerned but strangely enough I think Uriel is not, I do not see any evidence for it in the books.

--- End quote ---
Lily's personality change may also be because of making her Choice and becoming more like her fae side; I'm not sure Dresdenverse nixie's are renowned for their strength of will and Lily never seemed like a particularly sharp tool prior to assuming the mantle.

Turning the argument on it's head, an evil person can repent and gain redemption, their "you-ness" has also totally changed.. So did they gain a soul? They indeed had a "You-ness" before, but it was evil... There are dark souls out there as well...

Actually there's a woj that states criminals of a certain caliber don't have a soul anymore. i.e. Serial killers and psychopaths. I'll look for that real quick, see if I can spot it.

Which may just be another way of using the word soul.
It is strongly implied that corpstaker still had a soul and she was a mass murderer.
