Famed Canadian psychologist and speaker Jordan Peterson debated twenty atheists in a video posted Sunday that quickly went viral after Peterson shocked the group by refusing to clarify whether he's a Christian.The academic appeared on the YouTube channel Jubilee in a video currently titled, "Jordan Peterson vs 20 Atheists" on Sunday. The video was originally titled, "1 Christian vs 20 atheists," according to Newsweek.The popular YouTube channel frequently publishes videos where one person debates 20-25 other people who hold a contrary view on politics, religion or other polarizing issues.In the roughly-90-minute video, Peterson debated several atheists on claims about belief in God, Christianity and atheism. About halfway through the video, one debater who said his name was "Danny," pressed Peterson on his understanding of Catholicism, as Peterson reportedly attends a Catholic Church with his wife, who converted to Catholicism last year.JOE ROGAN STARTS GOING TO CHURCH AS FAITH RESURGENCE GAINS MOMENTUM, CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST CLAIMSWhen Peterson asked Danny why he was asking him about this, Danny responded, "Because youre a Christian.""You say that. I haven't claimed that," Peterson replied.His answer drew laughs from the atheists. Danny retorted, "Oh, what is this? Christians versus atheists?" referring to the title of the debate."I dont know," Peterson responded."You dont know where you are right now?" Danny mocked, with Peterson chiding his debater to "not be a smart.""Either youre a Christian or youre not," Danny said. "Which one is it?"Peterson refused to answer his question, replying, "I could be either of them, but I dont have to tell you. It's private."COUNTRY MUSIC SINGER JOHN RICH CONFRONTS JORDAN PETERSON ON HIS FAITH CRISIS: WHAT TERRIFIES YOU?Danny told Peterson he was invited to debate a Christian and that Peterson must be in "the wrong YouTube video.""Youre really quite something, arent you?" Peterson retorted."Arent I? But youre really quite nothing, right? Youre not a Christian?" Danny scoffed.Peterson ended the debate with Danny at this point.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREA clip of the exchange has since attracted over 7 million views.The person who posted the clip wrote in the caption, "During a debate titled One Christian vs. Twenty Atheists, Jordan Peterson was pressed to identify himself as a Christian but awkwardly refused.."Peterson did not immediately return Fox News Digitals request for comment.Peterson, who wrote a book last year titled, "We Who Wrestle with God: Perceptions of the Divine," has faced questions about his faith journey over the years.During an interview with country music singer John Rich in 2024, Peterson admitted he "loathed" talking about his personal faith beliefs in public because he didnt want it to be a spectacle.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation on Monday which he said makes it "crystal clear" that only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in elections in his state."I just signed off on a joint resolution to make it crystal clear under the Texas Constitution that if you are not a citizen of the United States of America, you are not allowed to vote in Texas," the governor said in a video posted to X.Texas State Senator Brian Birdwell, a Republican, introduced Senate Joint Resolution (SJR) 37 in January, and in the resolution, he proposed a constitutional amendment clarifying that voters in Texas elections must be citizens of the U.S.Prior to the resolution, the constitution prohibited people who are under the age of 18, along with those who were determined mentally incompetent by a court or who were convicted of a felony, from voting in elections.TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER REQUIRING PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP IN FEDERAL ELECTIONS: 'AN HONOR TO SIGN THIS ONE'But the amendment proposes adding a line to the classes of people who "shall not be allowed to vote" in Texas, which reads, "persons who are not citizens of the United States."Birdwells joint resolution was approved by the state senate in April, then by the state house in May.Abbott signed the joint resolution on Monday, but it still has one more step. In fact, Texas citizens will have the final say in November on whether the state constitution can be ratified to include the requirement in the state constitution.TRUMP'S EXECUTIVE ORDER ON VOTING BLOCKED BY FEDERAL JUDGE AMID FLURRY OF LEGAL SETBACKSFox News Digital has reached out to Abbotts and Birdwells offices for comment.Last month, a federal judge blocked an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that would require documentary proof of citizenship before being allowed to register to vote.Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia handed down the order in response to lawsuits filed by three separate groups of plaintiffs over five different provisions in a March 25 Trump executive order relating to election integrity. While Kollar-Kotelly dismissed requests to block three of the provisions, requests to block two other provisions pertaining to a proof of citizenship requirement for voters were granted.JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP ELECTION ORDER DESPITE OVERWHELMING AMERICAN SUPPORT FOR VOTER IDThe first blocked provision sought to compel the Election Assistance Commission to amend standardized national voter registration forms to require documentary proof of citizenship. The second sought to require federal agencies offering voter registration to people on public assistance to "assess" the individual's citizenship status before doing so."Our Constitution entrusts Congress and the States not the President with the authority to regulate federal elections. Consistent with that allocation of power, Congress is currently debating legislation that would affect many of the changes the President purports to order," Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton-appointee, wrote in her order. "No statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congresss deliberative process by executive order."Meanwhile, 25 states, including Texas, are considering some form of proof-of-citizenship legislation, according to the Voting Rights Lab, which is tracking such legislation. In total, 15 state constitutions have explicit prohibitions against non-citizen voting.Fox News Digitals Alec Schemmel contributed to this report.

A Republican lawmaker from Tennessee is calling for a federal investigation into Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connells handling of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, adding he will not back down.Tennessee Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., said in a post on X that with support from the House Judiciary Committee, he is formally requesting all documents and communications from OConnells office pertaining to his alleged protection of illegal immigrants.Specifically, Ogles is requesting documents related to "the amendment of Executive Order 30," which he referred to as "an outrageous directive requiring Nashville employees and first responders to report all communication with federal immigration authorities directly to the mayor."Ogles also said he is requesting any internal discussions or documents concerning ICE enforcement actions in Nashville or Davidson County and all correspondence involving Metro employees and affiliated nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) pertaining to the arrests or detention of criminal illegal aliens within the city or county.HOUSE GOP TARGETS ANOTHER DEM OFFICIAL ACCUSED OF BLOCKING ICE AMID DELANEY HALL FALLOUTAlong with his post, Ogles shared a video of his announcement."Weve heard it: the individuals that the mayor is standing with are murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, sexual predators, child traffickersthe list goes on," he said. "Which is why I will always stand on the rule of law and with ICE. And I dont just stand with ICE; Ill stand in front of ICE because we the people have had enough."I choose my community, my state and my family over this type of nonsense, which is why, due to the remarks of Freddie O'Connell and the potential for aiding and abetting illegal immigration, the Homeland Security and the Judiciary Committees will be conducting an investigation into the mayor of Nashville, his conduct and whether or not federal dollars have been used in criminal enterprise," Ogles continued. "I will not back down. I will not relent, and I will always stand with law enforcement. I want my community, and I want my country back."DHS FIRES BACK AT BLUE-CITY MAYOR UNHAPPY ABOUT ICE OPERATION, PROVIDES RAP SHEETS FOR THOSE CHARGEDOgles announcement comes 10 days after he sent a letter urging for an investigation into OConnell, whom the Trump administration has accused of supporting "pro-illegal policies."OConnells office did not respond to Fox News Digitals request for comment on the matter.Earlier this month, ICE agents working with the Tennessee Highway Patrol arrested nearly 200 people who the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said were illegal immigrants many of them criminals with gang affiliations or other sordid pasts.ICE CRACKS DOWN ON DC-AREA BUSINESSES, NEARLY 200 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARRESTEDA DHS news release targeted O'Connell by name over comments he made in early May. "What's clear today is that people who do not share our values of safety and community have the authority to cause deep community harm."After the arrests, O'Connell signed an executive order aimed at tracking peoples' interactions with federal immigration authorities, according to WSMV4.OConnell also wrote a letter to the city about the ICE arrests."Our top priority is keeping people safe, and were deeply concerned that what appear to be federal actions are making that harder," OConnell wrote. "Overnight, we understand that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents detained people during enforcement actions in Middle Tennessee. As we learn more, I want to be clear: No [Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD)] personnel were involved in last nights enforcement action."BLUE CITY MAYOR SAYS ICE ARRESTS OF DANGEROUS CRIMINALS ARE NOT FOCUSED ON MAKING US SAFERHe added that the citys police department does not have federal immigration authority, nor are its members trained to conduct immigration enforcement.OConnell also said the police department lacks access to federal immigration databases."This type of federal enforcement action is not focused on making us safer and leaves people in our community fearing any interaction with law enforcement when there is a crime occurring," he added. "We will be seeking the names of those detained."DHS said the Nashville operation resulted in the arrests of a convicted child sex predator, an alleged member of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, an individual convicted of aggravated assault and multiple illegal aliens on drug charges."The Nashville Mayor should want these criminal illegal aliens off American streets," DHS posted on X. "Attacks and demonization of our brave law enforcement is wrong. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults. President Trump campaigned on immigration enforcement, the American people voted for it, and DHS is delivering."Fox News Digitals Elizabeth Elkind contributed to this report.
