-------------------------- VIDEO NOTES --------------------------
Jordan Peterson is famously vague when asked about his views on the existence of God. He's more enthusiastic about discussing religion and scripture broadly, but still then leaves some mystery about his actual views.
In this video, I try my best to identify and unpack Peterson's religious philosophy, before offering some objections.
