“My parents were not especially religious.”
Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
The claim is consistent with Nigel Farage’s public self-descriptions. In the 2011 High Profiles interview, he directly answered the question about his parents’ religion with “Not especially, no,” and later biographical reporting says he was confirmed in the Church of England at 13 and lost his faith by 18, which fits a non-devout household background. Farage also later said he was christened and confirmed in the Church of England and that his family on both sides had been Church of England.
