A difference in judgements. There are those of us who were not indoctrinated, systematize more than empathize, and have agency more so than fear. THere are those who were indoctrinated, empathize more than systematize, and have more fear than agency.
Additionally some of us are foolish and see the other end of the spectrum as wrong rather than different, and some of us that are foolish and cannot comprehend the other end of the spectrum. But there are some who can understand the opposite end of the spectrum and who also feel compassion for their need for security versus agency.
Peterson is smart enough and moral enough, systematizing enough yet empathic enough, to recognize that people below a certain level of intelligence, a certain level of systematizing, and a certain level of agency, literally cannot function without faith.
And some of us, who have studied world religions, easily recognize that the folks at the bottom who are christian live better lives than the folks at the bottom in every other religion or every other secular frame.
We might also recognize that one can treat god as outside the universe, of the universe, a product of the universe, or a product of man within the universe – but as long as we identify the same moral laws, the manner of the existence of god is immaterial TO OTHERS.
Likewise we can see Jesus as god, jesus as the product of god, jesus as the product of the laws of the universe which he perceives as god, or jesus as a teacher who understands the laws of the universe and teaches to the faithful and those who need faith in the name of god.
We need not agree on the origin of god or the origin of the teachings of jesus to obey the. laws of jesus, god, and nature. If they are the same then they are true regardless of their origin.
