So I can never get this straight -- are they mocking religion or the government's protection of freedom of speech? If the latter, does that mean they are sincere religious beliefs and that they really do reject scientific consensus?

I think they are a very highly developed form of looney.

It comes to volunteerism doesn't it?

Doxastic voluntarism I should say.

Perhaps she has a career in politics ahead of her?

Quoting swstephe

These people seem over the top. In general (I think) they are taking aim at the liberties afforded to religions which the general population do not have. FSM started as a reaction to teaching creationism in schools, it was the statement 'if you want to teach creationism (your religion) then teach pastafarianims (ours). Here I take the point as, we allow religious people to wear various items in their photos, why is religion special that they are the only ones who can do this, if we allow them an exemption change the rules so that everyone can do it.
