What religion does not offer a chance for enlightenment or salvation? I may reconsider your grade, Padawan.

Reincarnation of 'Anti-religion'
All religions consider that the body is not the real "you".Is this correct?
According to Genesis all of Adam was from dust or started from dust of the ground. After receiving the breath of life at Genesis (2:7) it states then the formed Adam became a living soul. No where does it say Adam came to have a soul, or that Adam came to possess a soul, but that Adam was a soul. Just as animals are souls.- Numbers 31:28.
At death then Adam became a dead soul, or ended up back in the dust.
Ezekiel 18:4,20
Relative to what?
Jesus believed Scripture (John 17:17) was religious truth.
Wouldn't that put Jesus religious beliefs as relative to what was already recorded in the Hebrew OT Scriptures? Since Jesus believed those Scriptures as religious truth then his beliefs were based on the absolute religious truth of God's Word,
otherwise, beliefs would be relative to men's traditions or customs outside of Scripture such as the oral traditions of the religious leaders of Jesus day.
Mark 7:7; Matthew 15:9.
This only works if you believe Christian beliefs to be absolute Truth.
Otherwise, it does appear that religious truths are rather relative.
God,Allah cannot be named.Because HE is not a thing.Allah and other 99 names, all are attributes of HIM.Allah=Al-Ilaha('THE'-worshipped by all)/Al-La-Hu(who is not 'THE'(definite).
However, the Quran says all the beautiful names belongs to HIM.

They're all worldviews, views on the ultimate nature of reality and how we should relate to it.
As per JonathanCid.

Are you over looking the significance of the breath of life?

This is what I am referring to...Was the breath of life not his soul?

Interesting question ^above^.
At what point did Adam 'become' a living soul at Gen 2v7?
Not until God breathed the breath of life into Adam, then Adam became a living soul. So at death Adam became a dead soul, or lifeless soul because Adam no longer had the breath of life [breathing].
Please note Adam 'became' a living soul. All of Adam became alive.
No where does it say Adam 'came to have' a soul
No where does it say Adam 'came to possess' a soul.
Rather, Adam was a soul.
Because Adam sinned he died.
As Ezekiel 18vs4,20 says: the soul that sins dies.
Job [33v4] said the spirit of God made him, and Almighty God's breath brought Job to life. So, as with Adam, both needed breath combined with a body to become a living soul or living person.
Noah and his family, being people, are mentioned as being souls.
- 1st Peter 3v20.
The soul then being the whole person.
Mentioned as a person, at Deut 12v20, the soul longs or craves to eat......
