Do organized churches believe animals have a soul?

Some do, many don't. It IS one of the excuses (or maybe even THE excuse) used to seperate humans from other lifeforms. Then again, there are religions that consider animals as reborn humans, living out their karma or whatnot.

even then, many followers of said churches tend to have their own opinions, so yuo really have to just go ask people from each specific church, counting even if their belief doesnt believe so alot of places tend to change their beliefs to suit themselves a little better

I'm an atheist and i believe in the soul, in a metaphorical sense. Since it's only a metaphor i've concluded that animals don't have actual souls. When i was a catholic, nobody said anything about animal souls, even though the question came up sometimes in primary school.

So do you believe in it or not?

depends on what your definition of a soul is.

A supernatural component of the self that survives physical death is usually an acceptable definition.

Souls don't go onwards to an afterlife. It dies when the body dies. Take that religion!
