Unlike several countries, notably France, we usually don't have qualms about people wearing religious headdress, whether they're Sikhs, Muslims, Hindus, Orthodox Jews, or members of other faiths.
Christopher Schaefer, newly elected to the town council in Pomfert, New York, took his oath of office before the Town Clerk while wearing a colander on his head. He did so, he explained, because he was a minister of the Pastafarian religion, in which they worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
I think that the good people of Pomfert should be confident that Council Member Schaefer will be diligent in his duties and that he has a sense of humor, unlike the typical politician.
Here's a volleyball team, possibly wearing religious headdress to reflect their spirituality:
Some people may go over the top with religious headdress. These products are actually marketed. I don't think that the typical rabbi would approve.

Delightful post, Angel...the new council member must have quite a sense of humor, but I dare say I would be a bit skeptical of how serious he might be toward his service?
religion overall is a joke.
All politicians should wear colanders on their heads to prove they have no shame. Or even better: jock straps.
pastafarian. love.
Somehow, I doubt that a God capable of creating the immeasurable vastness of the universe and the incredible complexity of life on earh really cares very much what kind of hat you wear or whether you shave or not. He/she is probably too busy setting up hell for all the folks who think it's their duty to kill people who don't believe the way they do.
That's a new twist on the tin hat crowd.
I hope the pasatafarians realize that those three little feet on the colander could attract lightning.
The pastafarians believe that the Flying Spaghetti Monster will protect them from lighting if they wear magical underwear.
wonderful essay of the subject!
thanks, pal
