About this listen

I'm Kim McPhail: Democrat, Atheist, Ex-Christian, Antitheist, Secular Humanist, and your designated spiritual trouble-maker. (Yes, that's a real thing, and yes, it's as fun as it sounds.) We’ll be serving up a hearty dose of truth about Christianity—and aggressively side-eyeing Christian Nationalism because, frankly, the separation of church and state isn't a suggestion, it’s a social boundary we all need to respect. We’re cutting through the noise and shining a massive, secular spotlight on the biggest issues of the day: Christianity, Fascism, and MAGA. This podcast, Secular Strike Back, previously known as the Kim McPhail Podcast, is for the Atheists, Skeptics, Ex-Christians, Secular Humanists, and anyone actively choosing freedom over dogma. PS: For those of you who are wondering about my looks, I can't wear an upper denture right now. Those who judge me on how I look rather than on the message I carry shouldn't be here.

  • The REAL Source of Morality Christians Don't Want You to Know
    Dec 4 2025

    Do Christians really have a monopoly on morality? Spoiler alert: They don’t—and the evidence is overwhelming. In this video, I break down the REAL origins of human morality: evolutionary processes, social learning, and survival mechanisms that developed long before any ancient religious texts. Christianity claims their God is the source of all moral behavior, but science, anthropology, and cross-cultural studies tell a completely different story.🔍 What You’ll Learn: • How evolutionary psychology explains moral behavior • Why different cultures have different moral frameworks (and what that means for “objective” morality) • The role of reason, logic, and social cooperation in developing ethics • Why the “God-given morality” argument falls apart under scrutiny💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments: What do YOU think shapes human morality?👉 Want to support this podcast?

  • Christians Think ALL Atheists Are Immoral (Here's Why They're Wrong)
    Dec 4 2025

    Christians love to paint ALL atheists with the same brush - immoral, angry, hateful, lost souls destined for hell. But here’s the truth they conveniently ignore: atheism is simply a lack of belief in a god. That’s it. Nothing more. In this video, I break down the lazy stereotyping Christians use to dismiss atheists and explain the ACTUAL terms many of us identify with beyond just “atheist”:✅ Antitheist - Why I actively oppose religious harm✅ Ex-Christian - My journey OUT of Christianity ✅ Skeptic - Demanding evidence before belief✅ Agnostic - The honest “I don’t know” position✅ Secular Humanist - Morality WITHOUT divine command✅ Realist - Facing reality as it IS, not as we wish👉 Want to support this podcast?

  • The Surprising Advantage Atheists Have Over Christians
    Dec 1 2025

    Today we explore the false peace christians often feel and specifically, compare the experiences of atheists and christians. True peace and fulfillment does not come from an external source, but is internal. As atheists we have the ability to find true peace when we accept reality for what it is instead of deceiving ourselves by having faith in a God who cannot be proven to exist. Atheism accepts reality, Christianity does not. This thought-provoking video delves into the perspectives of both atheists and Christians, examining their approaches to finding true peace within themselves. By considering the philosophical and psychological aspects of peace, we aim to understand whether one’s belief system is essential to attaining a state of profound inner calm. Watch to discover insights into the human quest for peace and how different worldviews influence this pursuit.👉 Want to support this podcast?
