Jordan Peterson, Atheism, and the Origins of Morality | Curious Idiots Debate Deep

In this unfiltered and wide-ranging episode of Curious Idiots, Adam and Brandon dive deep into the debate between Jordan Peterson and “The 20 Atheists” — but with their own raw spin. Starting with a breakdown of what atheism really means (including its nuances), the duo explores Peterson’s core arguments: that moral frameworks are rooted in religion, that atheists unknowingly live by religious values, and that the death of God could lead to cultural decay and nihilism.

But do these claims hold up?

From dual voices in the brain and the neuroscience of empathy, to the historical hijacking of religion, cultural division, and whether spirituality can exist without dogma — this episode pulls no punches. Expect heated discussion, philosophical tangents, neuroscience, religion, culture wars, Alan Watts references, and maybe even middle school trauma.

Topics include:

• Nuanced definitions of atheism

• Peterson’s core arguments and where they fall short

• Do morals predate religion?

• Is empathy primal, logical, or divine?

• The brain science behind conscience and duality

• Religion vs. spirituality vs. control

• Multiculturalism and unity in modern society

• AI, utopia, and the future of human morality
