The concept of the soul seems to have been invented by the ancient Greek philosophers and adopted by Christianity. The Jews believed in resurrection of the body rather than a soul going to heaven.

The Buddha seems to have invented the concept of reincarnation, but ironically did not think a soul existed, from his exploration of the psyche, nor did he think a God as we define it existed, just Nirvana which is next to nothing.
