- Says she is not an atheist
Leader of the United Kingdom (UK) Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch has announced that she no longer believes in the existence of God.
The controversial politician made this known recently while featuring on a podcast hosted by Free Press editor, Bari Weiss.
Kemi Badenoch, however, clarified that she is not an “atheist”, adding that she identifies as “agnostic”.
While opening up about her faith, she emphasised that she is now a “cultural Christian.”
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.”
Recall that Badenoch accused the Nigeria Police of robbing citizens instead of protecting them.
Asked her if she trusted the UK police, she responded: “I do. My experience with the Nigeria Police was very negative. Coming to the UK, my experience with the British Police was very positive.
“The police in Nigeria will rob us (laughter). When people say I have this bad experience with the police because I’m black, I say well…I remember the police stole my brother’s shoe and his watch.”
