At London South Bank University, images of the Flying Spaghetti Monster have been banned.[1] Muslims were offended by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.[2] According to Google trends data, public interest in the Flying Spaghetti Monster has fallen - as has interest in evolutionary ideas.[3] Meanwhile, global creationism is growing.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the deity of "Pastafarianism", a parody religion that began as a critique of the Kansas Board of Education's decision to allow the teaching of intelligent design in public schools. Arguing that intelligent design was a thinly-veiled attempt to bring religion into the classroom, Bobby Henderson constructed "Pastafarianism" as a new theological system and argued that, if schools wished to "teach the controversy," they should teach "Pastafarianism" alongside evolution and intelligent design.[4]

Since then, many atheists and secularists have claimed to be "Pastafarians", implicitly using its obvious shortcomings to criticize actual religions, especially Christianity. More prominent atheists and agnostics have also mentioned it, such as new atheist Richard Dawkins in his book The God Delusion.
