I believe that the courts have already ruled that this “church” isn’t a true religion. I just can’t remember where I read it (or when).

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is not responsible for armed conflicts all over the world killing thousands of innocents; so how does a court rule out the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as a true religion without simultaneously ruling out vastly more absurd major religions?

“Cavanaugh v Bartelt”. United States District Court for the District of Nebraska. 12 April 2016.

The court ruled: “This is not a question of theology”, the ruling reads in part. “The FSM Gospel is plainly a work of satire, meant to entertain while making a pointed political statement. To read it as religious doctrine would be little different from grounding a ‘religious exercise’ on any other work of fiction.”

No, but your fellow non-believing atheists are. See atheistic Nazi's and Communists. Mockery of religion does not make one morally superior.

You can't be serious.
