I don't think that newspaper article - or Hegseth's announcement - means what you think it means?

Pastafarians didn't make the list? Alfredo won't be happy....🤣

@Tortuga

Are Pastafarians (whom I  never met) related to a Rastafarians (I have met at the door?). 

[Or is Richard playing with words again...  Alfredo...? hmmm]

I'm a little confused by the title of the article. 

It says Mormons are not on the list, but I see them on the list as "CJ".

I do see JW on the list.

Maybe it was a typo.

The LDS are upset because the list doesn't designate them as Christian. As in "Christian - LDS"

 

The Pastafarians are a satirical religion that makes fun of God and religion. I probably shouldn't have mentioned them...😖

Yes. I now see my mistake. It was not labelled under "Christian".

 

Ai helped me out. (I didn't know we have Pastafarians DownUnder.): 

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster began in 2005, when Bobby Henderson, a recent physics graduate of Oregon State University, sent a letter to the Kansas Board of Education, which was debating the inclusion of intelligent design theories in high school classes on evolution

 

Flying Spaghetti Monster, the deity of what began as a parody religion and grew to become a social movement. The adherents, who call themselves Pastafarians, purportedly number in the tens of thousands and are primarily located in North America, western Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), which is said to be invisible, is depicted as a floating mass of spaghetti noodles with a large meatball on either side of its body and two centrally located eyestalks.

Also, in terms of the founding fathers, it is interesting that Unitarians (now Unitarian Universalists) have been removed from the list ...
