He also could not identify where Jesus was born.
AN asylum seeker claimed he converted to Christianity but only knew one of the Ten Commandments.
He also could not identify where Jesus was born.
The Iranian, 42, whose identify was not given, informed immigration officials he was a practising Christian after his software for refugee standing was rejected in 2019.
He appealed however a tribunal heard that in a religion check he didn't know Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
It also emerged he didn't attend church and had not been baptised.
The tribunal heard his solicitor "accepted in submissions that (the Christianity) facet of the appellant's claim was not the strongest".
Decide Graeme Clarke made "damning credibility findings" and rejected his bid to remain.
In one other case a Nigerian in his 60s stated he can be persecuted for converting to Christianity if sent residence.
However the man had "virtually no information" of Islam and lived in Lagos for years as a Christian. His attraction was rejected.
Last week Residence Secretary James Cleverly informed The Solar on Sunday it was time to "shine a light" on immigration tribunals which allowed asylum seekers to stick with no public report.
Tory MP Nigel Mills stated: "These are two more examples of makes an attempt to recreation the system."
The Home Office declined to remark.
