Many atheists have adopted it as a parody of religion. However, there was no atheist convention or meeting to create the creature. It was one guy.

For fun! It's a parody of religion and creationism designed to show just how silly taking myths literally is.
And even though I'm not an Atheist myself, I love the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He makes me hungry for noodles though. ;-)

They needed a reason to skip out of afternoon classes and over a spaghetti and meatball lunch, that was the best they could come up with.
The rest is history.

One has an equal chance disproving the Flying Spaghetti Monster's existence as one does disproving God's existence.

For the same reason that Jews invented Yahweh, Muslims invented Allah, Christians invented Christ, and Hindus invented Brahma.
It makes us feel better.

To parody theism and in particular creationism since they requested that as FSMism is every bit as scientific as creationism it should be taught in schools alongside evolution and ID.

How can you "invent" the supreme ruler and creator of the universe?

Because they really do believe in a Supreme Being but don't know the real one.
