“I would have been able to make a case for religious faith.”
Reasoning & Evidence09 Jul 2026
Farage’s claim is best judged true: while it is a self-assessment and not something that can be measured directly, the public record shows he was able to make pro-faith arguments. He said Britain was a Judeo-Christian country that should stand up for its values, later said he would happily accept Christian refugees, and a Guardian profile noted that although he was not especially religious, he still saw church as socially important. That makes it reasonable to conclude he could make a case for religious faith.

Yes. Oh yes – and I still could. And I do actually think that our Christian values are terribly important, because they’re an excellent marker for the way society should operate and how we should treat each other.
