=== Religious views ===
Although his parents were devout Anglicans, with one of his brothers becoming a clergyman and one of his sisters a [[missionary]], Attlee himself is usually regarded as an agnostic. In an interview he described himself as "incapable of religious feeling", saying that he believed in "the ethics of Christianity" but not "the mumbo-jumbo". When asked whether he was an agnostic, Attlee replied "I don't know".{{sfn|Brookshire|1995|p=15}}<ref>{{cite web|url=https://heritage.humanists.uk/clement-attlee/|title=Clement Attlee|work=Humanist Heritage|publisher=[[Humanists UK]]|accessdate=14 April 2023|archive-date=14 April 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230414104016/https://heritage.humanists.uk/clement-attlee/|url-status=live}}</ref>
