jordan peterson is not an atheist, though? he plays like he is but when asked he clumsily dodges the question as if he does not want to confirm it. i think he found that his grift works better if he plays the “questioning atheist” part

Some people are atheists because they don’t believe in gods. Others are atheists because they can’t conceive of anything superior to themselves. Of course those atheists are going to be awful people.
