I am afraid that this could have a non ironic following in the USA.
Get a few celebrities on board and some mansion in LA.

There are people who take it seriously. The nature pastafarianism's (not sure if thats right) religious doctrine lends it to being more chill vibes than anything else though. Still can be a bit of a social barrier when trying to interact with practitioners. However, that's not unique to pastafarianism. Most atypical social clubs have that barrier.

The gospel is just: "don't take religious text literally" everything else is just for fun and jokes. There are extremely few people who are serious about it, my brother. I've never met one and I've been a pastafarian minister for like 12 years

I think we are talking of different levels of seriousness.

I feel like AI FSM artwork is an untapped market.

AI is evil

But it's also really good at drawing spaghetti.

Nonsense to combat nonsense? Idk about this one, chief, it feels like the result of frustration over intellectual difficulties.

The point is that with a group bringing organized religion into secular public places, their intent is to impose their world view on others, without the rigor that secular policy demands.
Because they do not do this with good faith arguments (pun very intended) their opposition is under no obligation to do so either. Thus you get absurd responses like the FSM and Dudeism, meant to ridicule the people trying to force their beliefs on others with no consideration of any pre-existing ones the people in that society already have.

Back The Satanic Temple instead, they're still an organization and have a better track record of legally fighting for the separation of Church and State
i think both are helpful:
the satanic temple is great to actually fight, but certainly gives people a visceral reaction (that’s the whole point: it’s intentionally incredibly offensive only to people fighting for religion)
sometimes it’s useful to fight not with a visceral anti-X reaction, but an obvious parody
both are reducto ad absurdium: 1 is “offensive” and the other is humorous
I got very excited by the Satanic Temple when I learned some of the things they were doing to fight this sort of thing. Then I did some research and got disappointed at the infighting.
