Jonathan Swift was born into a Protestant family. His father was a Protestant, and he was raised in the Church of Ireland, which is part of the Anglican Communion. Throughout his life, Swift identified as a Protestant and remained aligned with the beliefs and practices of the Anglican Church.
However, it’s worth noting that Swift often critiqued the religious divisions of his time, particularly the conflicts between Catholics and Protestants in Ireland. His writings reflected a deep concern for the political and social issues surrounding these religious identities. While he may have had complex views about religion, his personal and familial background was distinctly Protestant.
