Thinking it over, an earlier suggestion has become more appealing to me; while being soulless will make a difference to the individual, and can enable the plans of various organizations (some even at odds with each other!), our real world actually could use this "truth" to explain various present-day demographic shifts, changes in values, etc.

The big thing would be difficulty or even a total lack of appreciating higher causes and/or long-term thinking. Still, you raise a soulless in (for example) an evangelical Christian church, keep reinforcing these beliefs, and that soulless will remain in that church... even if concepts like "eternity" are mostly just words to it. Anything it doesn't really grasp, it will just try to ignore while "going with the flow".
