Pastafarians take the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) (Blessed Be His Noodled Goodness) as their deity. Many non-believers claim the church is a parody religion that shows the spurious nature of claims of "main stream" theists who want to "teach the controversy" in the areas of evolution, global warming and the theory of intelligent falling (AKA the Theory of Universal Gravitation), as well as topics like need for prayer in schools, at the opening of government functions and the swearing in of officials and witnesses.
Note that proving the non-existence of the FSM is as difficult as proving the non-existence of any deity. Like the Church of the Invisible Pink Unicorn and the Church of the Sub-Genius, Pastafatians are steadfast in their beliefs.

Pastafarians believe that the afterlife is full of beer volcanoes and stripper factories.
Pastafarians eat spaghetti, Christians take communion wafers. Both are the substitution of starchy foods for symbolic cannibalism.
They live mostly in the United states and in Europe
The great Flying Spaghetti Monster in the sky. Silly Pastafarians.
They were mostly the same as they are today. Rastafarians, Pastafarians, Scientologists and a few others had not been developed and many native religions have disappeared.

Yes, during Pastover Pastafarians from across the world eat large quantities of spaghetti.
Yes. They Eyes of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (primary Deity for the Pastafarians) do indeed believe in Magic Meatballs, as they represent the holy eyes of their Noodly Lord.
The spiratual bent of the Supervisors is not discussed so there may well be Christian, Jewish, Wiccan and Pastafarians out there as well as atheists and Zoroasterians. As another thought - Supervisors are not hired they volunteer to do the work.
Most religions worship a god of some sort (except for Buddhism and Taoism) Many worship many gods (Hindus, Wiccans, native religions) Some religions have a God and a Jesus (Moslems and Rasifarians) but don't rate the Jesus part so highly. Pastafarians the Church of the Subgenius are sort of to the left of this whole issue Mormons have a different veiw of God and Jesus than most mainline Christian churches
AnswerThe only time I have encountered that term is a derogatory label applied to Christianity and some of the often questionable things Christians have done over the years.If it does exist, I would bet that it is in the same spirit as the Discordians (disciples of Eris), Pastafarians (disciples of the Flying Spaghetti Monster), Church of the Sub-Genius (Disciples of Bob) and other satirical "churches".Sheepology is a spoof online church set up by a whimsical group of 'social' networkers.
A christian should partake in none. Ask a rabbi or one of your Jewish friends for their opinion and your own clergyman.Answer:Many Jewish festivals mark events in Jewish cultural history. Participation should be no problem. Others are deeply involved with the Jewish identity and participation requires a knowledge of the language and traditions. Being "just a gawker" would be seen as impolite as many Christians would feel if a crowd of atheists. Pastafarians and Wiccans sat in on their Chrismas ceremonies "just to gawk"
