• She highlighted that she is now a “cultural Christian.”

Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party, has shared her personal thoughts on faith and spirituality.

In a recent podcast appearance, Badenoch revealed that she no longer identifies as a believer in God.

Badenoch describes herself as an agnostic, emphasizing that she does not identify as an atheist.

This distinction is important to her, as she acknowledges that her upbringing and cultural background have instilled in her a sense of Christian values.

Badenoch refers to herself as a “cultural Christian,” indicating that while she may not hold traditional Christian beliefs, she still appreciates the cultural significance of Christianity.

This perspective according to her, allows her to maintain a connection to her roots while also being honest about her personal beliefs.

Badenoch emphasized that what matters most is not whether someone believes in God, but rather how they choose to live their life.

Badenoch said, “I don’t believe in God anymore. But I am not an atheist, I am agnostic. I used to believe in God very much but now I describe myself as a cultural Christian.

“I don’t think it matters if people believe in God or not. What matters is what they do with the belief or the lack of it.”

Kemi Badenoch also opened up on her experience with Nigerian police.

During a gripping interview with a UK journalist, Badenoch painted a damning portrait of law enforcement in Nigeria—a force she described as driven by hunger, emboldened by weapons, and enabled by systemic poverty.

When asked whether she trusted the UK police, Badenoch’s response was both candid and illuminating. She praised the British police for their professionalism and integrity, citing instances where their intervention had restored her faith in public service.
