  42. @heathermeadows4134 Good morning, Heather. Freemasonry is NOT a religion, nor a substitute for one. A religion requires a deity, sacraments, clergy, a promise of eternal life. Freemasonry has none of those. Albert Pike, in his tome "Morals and Dogma" tried to get across the fact that Freemasonry certainly promotes devotion to god, but allows for religious freedom. In other words, he says that we should all endeavour to get closer to god, by whatever name he is known to the individual Mason. Pike was a lawyer and as such was a great linguist. However, he did like to use very flowery and antiquated language, even for the day. Because of this, you ought not get bogged down with his writings, as they can be very misleading. All these people who become "born again Christians" and "leave Freemasonry". Well, they usually fall in to a few categories. 1. Never were Masons in the first place, despite telling people that they were...but applied to join and got rejected. Result? Sour grapes. 2. Were Freemasons, but did something wrong (usually non-payment of dues or gaining a criminal record) and as such are thrown out. Result? Sour grapes. 3. Religious zealots, who wish to further their "status" within their congregation or religious circle, simply by lying about things. They feel it makes them look like the good guys. Secrets? Almost NOTHING is secret in Freemasonry. The ONLY things we cannot divulge, are the sign, grip and word of the Degree being worked. All else can be discussed openly with anyone, Mason or not. You may ask me anything you wish regarding Freemasonry. Don't get distracted by the conspiracy theorists and trouble makers in tittle tattle and gossip. Be informed. I know the above is something you probably don't want to hear. People just LOVE to bash Freemasons...but it really is true.
