Jordan Peterson Is an Atheist After All
He claims God is fiction
Jordan Peterson is a clinical psychologist, author, and professor emeritus at the University of Toronto. His YouTube channel has almost six million subscribers. He often speaks on controversial subjects such as politics and religion. I think it is fair to say that many Christians like him because he calls young people to go to church and argues that Western civilization is established on Judeo-Christian ethics. He also criticizes atheism for lacking a unifying ethical foundation for society.

From the description above, you might think he is most likely a Christian. Why else would he promote Christian faith and values the way he does publicly?
But curiously, he never directly says he is a Christian, even when pressed. His way of dodging questions about his personal belief vexes a lot of interviewers and debate opponents.
In one of his tweets in 2021, he says:
Do I believe in God? I act as if God exists.
Ok …
Fortunately, in one of his recent podcasts (link below), we can piece together whether he believes God exists or not. The answer is he does NOT.
