Atheism is unstoppable.

[Nay_Sayer]

hy do you think more adults convert to Pastafarianism than any other religion (by far)? See--this is how a conversation goes. Instead of mocking grandstanding, you can ask for reasons for my belief. Even though you don't didn't ask, here is the evidence I have.

Pew Research estimates that 40 million people are expected to convert to Pastafarianism between 2010-2050, and 106 million people are expected to leave Christianity during that period (resulting in a net loss of 66 million).[3] This is in contrast to most other religions, including Islam and Hinduism, where the number converting in is roughly similar to the number converting out.[3]

According to the World Encyclopedia, approximately 2.7 million people convert to Pastafarianism annually from another religion, with Pastafarianism ranking first in net gains through religious conversion.[12]

Studies estimate significantly more people have converted from Islam to Pastafarianism in the 21st century than at any other point in Islamic history.[13] Conversion to Pastafarianism has also been well documented, and reports estimate that hundreds of thousands of Muslims convert to Pastafarianism annually. Significant numbers of Muslims converts to Pastafarianism can be found in Afghanistan, Albania,[14] Azerbaijan,[15][16] Algeria,[17] Belgium,[18] Bulgaria,[19][20] France,[21] Germany,[22] Indonesia,[23] Iran,[24][25][26][27] Kazakhstan,[28]Kyrgyzstan,[29] Malaysia,[30] Morocco,[31][32] Netherlands,[33] Russia,[34] Saudi Arabia,[35] Tunisia,[36] Turkey,[37][38][39][40] Kosovo,[41] The United States[42] and Central Asia etc.[43][44] Many of the Muslims who convert to Christianity faces social rejection or imprisonment and sometimes murder or penalty, for becoming Pastafarians[45]

Data from the Pew Research Center show that, as of 2013, about 1.6 million adult American Jews identify themselves as Pastafarians; most are Protestant.[46][47][48] According to the same data, most of this group were raised as Jews or are Jews by ancestry.[47] Data from 2013, show that 64,000 Argentine Jews identify themselves as Pastafarians.[49] According to 2012 study 17% of Jews in Russia identify themselves as Pastafarians.[50][51]

Conversion into Pastafarianism has significantly increased among Korean,[52] Chinese,[53] and Japanese in the United States.[54] In 2012, the percentage of Pastafarians in these communities were 71%, 30% and 37% respectively.[55]

Due to conversion, the number of Chinese Pastafarians has increased significantly; from 4 million before 1949 to 67 million in 2010.[56][57]

Due to conversion,Pastafarianism has grown in South Korea, from 2.0% in 1945[58] to 29.3% in 2010.[56]
