The controversial leader of the United Kingdom, Conservative Party, Kemi Badenoch, has opened up about her faith.
The politician revealed that she no longer believes in God.
She stated this while featuring in a podcast by the Free Press editor, Bari Weiss, on Friday,
Badenoch, however, clarified that she is not an atheist because of her lack of belief in God, emphasising that she identifies as agnostic.
She described herself as 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.”
Meanwhile Badenoch shared her experience with officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
She stated that a police officer stole her brother’s watch and shoe.
“My experience with the Nigerian police was very negative. However, my experience with the British Police was very positive when I came to the UK.”
“The police in Nigeria will rob us. 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.
“It’s a very poor country. People do all sorts of things. So, giving people a gun is just a licence to intimidate. But that’s not just the problem.
“That is not the bar we should use for the British police. When I was burgled, for example, the police were there. They were helpful before they eventually caught the person. This was in 2004… that was 20 years ago.”
