Isn’t Peterson an atheist though? I’ve noticed he is very careful in his words to not imply that he believes the Bible is actually true, only that Western culture is built on the idea.
I know Rogan is godless. I can’t say I’m a fan of either of them because they seem to be like Oprah but for men.

Peterson’s daughter is apparently a Christian. She might be a good influence on him. We should pray for him.

No. He is not an atheist. He is asking the right questions, and doesn't seem afraid to where the answers lead. His wife is a rosary-praying Christian. His approach reminds me a bit of the humanist-left Christians in the 1960s, only he is trying to pull of the same approach to justify non-relativistic moral standards, which is now regarded as quite right wing. His professional and academic commitment to evolutionary biology as a central characteristic to his world-view and scientific view warps his prioritizations and presuppositions, in my opinion.
If you have been listening to him for years, he is moving in the right direction, and at least once when he was challenged to embrace Catholicism, he wasn't offended, and suggested that that may come. He seems to have sympathies with the Orthodox as well.

I think he’s working humself, in a circular fashion, of becoming a believer.
