Kemi Badenoch's God Delusion

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has given a wide-ranging interview to the BBC’s Amol Rajan in which she touched upon her Nigerian upbringing, her feeling of identity and she even revealed she called out a peer for cheating at school. But perhaps her most interesting comments came when she revealed how she lost her belief in God. The Reverend Fergus Butler-Gallie, author of Twelve Churches, and Tim Shipman join Oscar Edmondson to discuss Kemi’s comments. Is it credible to call yourself a ‘cultural Christian’? And, with both an atheist Prime Minister and agnostic Leader of the Opposition, is the decline of religion in politics inevitable? Plus: with the news that Germany will suspend weapons exports to Israel, following Benjamin Netanyahu’s announcement that Israel will pursue a full takeover of Gaza, will the UK follow suit? Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
