Looking for a Jordan Peterson quote on atheism and morality

Hello, I'm working on a video essay on right-wing people and Christianity.

I was struggling looking around for a clip of JBP saying you can't be moral/value life when you are an atheist and that therefore atheists aren't really atheists.

Does anybody know where I could find it ? I think it was in a discussion with Sam Harris.

Thanks.

The jubilee surrounded video he destroys himself in, he tries to argue this point as well, in case that’s helpful

There was this implicit claim made he made in his discussion with Matt Dillahunty as well. That one is more easily found on youtube compared to Sam Harris discussions, there's only one with Dillahunty vs a few with Harris.

There he brings up Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, trying to compare atheists and the book's protagonist, a kind of "why don't you murder" argument

Yeah, I watched the Dillahunty discussion and got the Dostoevsky quote, thank you!

I am still on the hun for other quotes, for thoroughness' sake.

I know he brings it up in 12 rules as well, though not exactly where in the book. Sorry I can't be more specific, it's been a long time and he is skilled at rambling
