In 2005, Henderson founded the religion of Pastafarianism in response to the Kansas State Board of Education's decision to teach intelligent design alongside evolution in schools.[4] He requested that "Pastafarianism" be taught alongside intelligent design and "logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence".[5] After his protest letter to the board was ignored, he posted it online and the beliefs quickly gained traction.[3]
In 2019 Henderson repeated his belief that religion should be kept out of government schools and money kept out of religion. He emphasized that although he is the founder of Pastafarianism, he is not the creator of the religion. The creator is the Flying Spaghetti Monster.[3]
