That's more of a personal preference, I think. One could make the case that I choose to believe in souls simply because I find the idea that my own conciousness as an illusion too uncomfortable.
However, due to a variety of factors, I think that the idea of God existing is likely enough for me to put my faith in Him, and thereby souls. These reasons may not be sufficient for everyone, though.
There's a lot that can't be explained no matter what you believe, though. The fact that the universe exists at all has always been amazing to me. I would think that there would just be nothingness, but here we are, in a universe filled with lots of stuff.
