Australian rock star Nick Cave has opened up about his journey to faith, telling UnHerd the way to rebel in 2023 is to “go to church and be a conservative.”
Cave, who was famously anti-establishment in his early career, sat down with UnHerd Britain’s Freddie Sayers to discuss his new book, “Faith, Hope and Carnage.” A former singer with post-punk bands The Birthday Party and Bad Seed, Cave delves into the topics of faith, spirituality, censorship and politics.
While some have claimed Cave has transformed over the years from a counter-culture icon to a conservative church-going man of faith, Cave rejected that notion, telling Sayers he “delights in fucking with people.”
Nick Cave's early punk music energy was all about "fucking with people," he told me.

Me: "How do you fuck with people in 2023?"
Cave: "You'd go to church and be a conservative."
