Frequently Asked Questions
Who runs this circus?
That’d be me, Stuart Delony. Writer, podcaster, professional cynic with a heart, and reluctant ringleader of Snarky Faith. I keep the elephants from trampling the audience — most days.
Who am I?
Depends on the day. Sometimes I’m a writer. Other times I’m a dad, a mystic, a skeptic, or just a guy yelling into the internet void. Mostly, I’m someone who decided sarcasm was cheaper than therapy.
Who are you?
Ah, the real mystery. You could be a faithful fan, a hate-reader, a bot, or just someone who clicked the wrong link while googling “faith-based circus.” Either way, welcome. You’re part of this now. Existentially speaking, though, “who are you?” is a question philosophers have wrestled with forever. So… good luck with that.
What is Snarky Faith?
A podcast, a column, and a brand that skewers American Christianity with wit, sarcasm, and the occasional sigh of despair. Think of it as your weekly dose of satire and storytelling, with a spiritual side-eye.
Is Snarky Faith anti-Christian?
Not exactly. I like Jesus. His fan club? That’s another story. I critique the industry of Christianity, not the carpenter from Nazareth.
Do you hate churches?
No. I’m just disappointed. Imagine if churches actually focused on compassion, justice, and love. Imagine. Until then, I’ll keep writing.
Why so snarky?
Because otherwise I’d have to scream. Humor lets us survive absurdity without losing our minds. It’s either snark… or whiskey at breakfast.
What is truth?
Philosophers asked. Pilate asked. Jesus dodged. Cable news gave up. Around here, “truth” is usually whatever gets me the most hate mail from fundamentalists.
What’s your truth?
No idea. That’s on you. If you figure it out, please let me know so I can finally update my LinkedIn tagline.
Do cats go to heaven?
Yes. Dogs too. People? Debatable.
Do you make money off this?
Barely. There’s merch, a book in the works, and the occasional podcast support. If you’re imagining a megachurch jet, you’re about 12 zeroes off.
Can I advertise my Christian NFT startup here?
Only if you also want me to write a feature about how scammy it is. Spoiler: you don’t.
Why does Snarky Faith exist?
Because watching American Christianity sell itself for power, politics, and profit is tragic comedy. Someone had to name it. That someone ended up being me.
How can I support Snarky Faith?
- Share articles and podcasts.
- Buy a shirt if you’re feeling bold.
- Join the newsletter.
- Or just whisper my name during awkward Thanksgiving dinners with your evangelical uncle. Word of mouth is powerful.
Where can I find you online?
Patheos, Quollective, this site, and the usual social media cesspools (X/Twitter, Instagram, BlueSky). I’m easy to find and hard to ignore.
Are you available for interviews or speaking gigs?
Sure — as long as it’s not “How to Become a Better Megachurch Pastor.” Use the contact page.
Final Question: Why should I care?
Excellent point. You don’t have to. But if you’ve made it this far, maybe you already do.
