Canadian conservative philosopher Jordan Peterson repeatedly refused to identify as a Christian during a heated YouTube debate about theology that aired on Sunday, growing increasingly angry as a young atheist vlogger challenged him over his faith.
Peterson, 62, was participating in an episode of Jubilee Media’s series Surrounded,“Jordan Peterson vs Twenty Atheists,” when the spat occurred. The show required the professor to sit at a desk in the center of a circle of would-be challengers who took turns arguing with him on subjects related to religion.
