Carnelian, as I'm a Christian, I would not wish to say or infer that Jeremy Corbyn is antisemitic.
I found this interview he gave a few years ago:

It's a lengthy interview but this extract relates to his religious views:
Was there any religion in your family?
Yeah, there was. My mum was a Bible-reading atheist - no, agnostic, probably. She had been brought up in a religious environment and her brother was a vicar, and there was quite a lot of clergy in her family. Going back a lot further, there is a Jewish element in the family, probably from Germany. My father was a Christian and attended church; and the school that I went to was religious - we had hymns and prayers every morning.
The school motto was 'Serve and Obey', I believe.
Was it? I don't remember that but it sounds about right! So, I did go to church as a child, yeah.
At what point did you decide that it wasn't for you?
I'm not anti-religious at all. Not at all. And I probably go to more religious services than most people who are very strong believers. I go to churches, I go to mosques, I go to temples, I go to synagogues. I find religion very interesting. I find the power of faith very interesting. I have friends who are very strongly atheist and wouldn't have anything to do with any faith; but I take a much more relaxed view of it. I think the faith community offers and does a great deal for people. There doesn't have to be wars about religĀion, there has to be honesty about religion. We have much more in common than separates us.
