Its rather simple to me. Dr. Peterson represents far to traditional of a world view. He's one of their own not rejecting the patriarchal world order. His thoughts reflect an out dated world view from their point of view.
Not long ago I heard JP speak to a conservative audience about how conservatives have failed to counter the progressive world view. Their response to the woke Intellectual class is to consider them absurd instead of demolishing them brick by brick. This is why the ivory tower hate JP. He's a threat.
I've said it before, JP is what has been largely missing from US Christian leadership. An intellectual response to the demolition of western civilization.
JP is not perfect but we need more like him.
Yes. As a Christian i often find JP's takes a bit naive, but it's undeniable that his way with words has reached a lot of disaffected young men, in a way that pastors haven't been able to. It might just be a function of his platform, it might also be because many are still suspicious of traditional religion, but more open to the vague psychological spirituality offered by JP

For sure a factor. There is also a deep desire for deeper more intellectal looks at the Christian stories that many raised in an evangelical culture haven't heard. But, you are correct. There are pastors that offer this but don't have his platform.
