As for rage, most of what Peterson teaches and argues for is aimed at controlling rage not embracing it. I don't get this idea he's some sort of incel icon because all the problems with incels is the stuff he warns against - taking no accountability, always blaming others, never trying to better yourself, having toxic friendships etc. He tries to get people to lead their lives in a way whereby they don't succumb to rage or despair

Repression, well I don't know about that. Child psychology might not be his forte

On the final point, I think Peterson has talked about the killing done in Christianity's name before but yeah if you're anti-religious you probably won't like the fact that Christianity does influence him quite a lot

He's a redpill icon more than an incel icon, these concepts are similar but not identical; Redpill is all about the idea of "acceptance of reality" and control of that reality. The inherent problem is that it's a warped reality. You can see that in your description of what he's doing - "controlling rage rather than embracing it". Controlling rage is a form of embracing rage, it rests on the premise that the rage was inevitable and that the answer is to harness it... which is a completely unhealthy starting point, and doomed to failure from the outset. He can't even harness his own rage.
