    they don’t believe in western religious tenants like gods and afterlife

    Yeah, but their whole point is that this doesn’t undermine their status as a religion. It doesn’t make them ‘a joke or parody religion’, which is the phrase you initially replied to:

    This is a common misconception. TST is not a joke or parody religion.

    What makes you say that?

    They don’t exist as a semi-serious troll organisation to undermine Christianity is my point, they take their beliefs and religious status seriously.

      I never said they were a joke. You’re the one disregarding pastafarism here.

      Ahh I see you believe I implied that. No that wasn’t my intent. My point is they were created to combat religious encroachment on secular society. Let’s not act like they are performing mass here though. They exist as a tool to rebuff religion. Not sure that makes them a religion, but I’m no theologian.
