Would you consider that the holy spirit, that it animates the soul?

The Holy Spirit is an external force/entity that guides a person towards spirituality, not necessarily an animating force.

I'm not religious, but I view the symbolism of the holy spirit as the unifying life force (including self awareness, and perhaps consciousness) behind every single thing.

The Holy Spirit is a part of the Living God. He creates souls.
Offspring of fallen Angelic ( alien beings) and human were born without souls. They are now demons. Spirit but no soul.

I think you might be thinking of the "Great Spirit," which is a property of some kind that allows a thing or a person to exist in reality because it allows people to perceive it and comprehend it. The Great Spirit is indeed in everything, according to animists like the Native Americans.

So, what does a soulless person look like, how do they present, if they exist? Like psychopaths?
it's your individuality and personality in a way.

Maybe. *shrugs*
If we are to contend that normal good people have souls, and that souls are responsible for people being normal and good, then anything bad,, or psychopathic would indicate a void where the soul would reside.

Or do Dark Souls exist as well ?
