Premise one is granted. Therefore, the real issue is whether Christianity is just as silly and unfounded as Pastafarianism.
Is it?
Absolutely! Even sillier - what with the talking snake, talking donkey, virgin birth, mean-old sky wizards creating havoc and let us not forget Jewish Zombie Time! Yeah, that's a biggie on the silly and unfounded scale. Freakin' Jewish Zombie Time!

Do you mean in the human, stinky, hungry, horny kind of exist or in the Freakin' Jewish Zombie Time!! exist sense?
Possibly for the former (although the evidence is scant at best); laughably absurd, silly and unfounded for the latter.
I pray to the FSM for him to change your heart, perhaps with a nice bowl of linguine with Sicilian red pesto sauce (raw tomato, a bit less basil and almonds instead of pine nuts.)
