Format and content
With its first video uploaded on May 21, 2008 to YouTube, Secular Talk features Kyle in a studio talking about current political events and often criticizing the establishments of the Democratic and Republican Party. He also often includes a video from a recent news broadcast or internet video before giving his take on it.[5]
Host
Kyle Kulinski
Kyle Kulinski was born on January 31, 1988, in Westchester County, New York, to parents of mainly Italian and Polish descent.[6] He was brought up Catholic, and was familiar with Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD). In high school, he became interested in both politics and religion.
In terms of political leanings, Kyle identifies himself as a post-World War II social democrat, believing in a "mix" of regulated capitalism and socialism in the political sense. He praises the Nordic economic model. He is a libertarian on social issues. Philosophically, he identifies as a secular humanist. Despite his Catholic upbringing, Kyle is also an outspoken atheist and anti-theist: he has done many segments on his show heavily criticizing the imposing of religious dogmas unto the citizens of the United States and elsewhere around the world where this might be tried, labeling these actions as unconstitutional and morally wrong.
