Peterson's belief that our morality comes from Christianity would mean that historically Hindu, Buddhist, pagan, etc. cultures would be morally inferior. I don't think Peterson is stupid enough to believe that. So is he saying the Christian west is superior to attract his white supremacist "alt right" fans, or is he mentally ill, suffering from something like manic states or sociopathy?

Only thing worse than a Peterson supporter is a Peterson critic. Go back to Rebbit.

Firstly,
>Peterson

Secondly, he's simply saying that in the West the moral system which has guided its advancement, progress, and preservation is inherently Christian and that this system works for Western societies. He would probably say that Buddhistm, Shintoism, Hinduism, is just as viable if the societal zeitgeist of the culture has been preserved. In this sense, he's rather Burkeian.

Our Christian morality is superior and it's mostly what makes us consider that maybe some other cultures are equally valideven if they are not.

from what i can tell, he's just saying that Christianity is a good thing, but he doesn't believe in it yet you should or something. Honestly he is pretty dumb from the start, and he refuses to just categories himself into yes or no questions which is really fucking annoying

He believes our morality is evolved, but that we also evolved a "dark side", the Jungian shadow so to say.
Religion is the discovery of this morality; or truth: religion/stories are the only way to truly understand it (metaphor). If someone just says "be an hero, a real human bean" it won't work, but if you witness the story of the hero—then you see. That is meaning, you feel meaning, it's in the core of our being; reason can't grasp it. This is why we need religion, and according to him, Christianity (Jesus) is the best example of this "human-meaning", self-sacrifice, admonish yourself and pick up the burden of suffering proudly. To clean your room.

The other religions got other things right and better, like Yin-Yang, but none captures Meaning as well as Christianity.

No, that is a logical fallacy on your part.
Peterson says A => B, from that you conclude, not A = not B. This is REALLY dumb.
