evil, bad, unscrupulous, dishonest; dangerous, pernicious, ruinous, fatal
At least that's what Novyi Bol'shoi Russko-Angliiskii Slovar' gives!

They all sound \"spiritually harmful\" - just another alternative.

: Slovar has the equivalent for душевредное ?! and it is not exactly 'spiritually harmful' but it's harmful for souls (while they are in the body i guess) - I see some difference here...

nothing that's considered (deemed) to be bad for the soul
Речь о том, что отрицается само существование объективно понимаемоего "яда для души". "Это не яд, - говорят гуманисты. - Если человеку хорошо, пусть себе кушает, пусть обжирается". :-)

soul destructive
I would go for 'soul destructive' because what is bad for the soul destroys it. And it is a common phrase in this context.
