Masonry is a luciferian organization. You should research the organization your affiliated with and ask yourself if you’re a Christian if it violates your devotion to Christ. If not a Christian, then it doesn’t really matter for you anyway. Christians have no business belonging to freemasonry. If you seek to loose yourself from it’s grips I suggest the book THE BONDAGE BREAKER by Neil T. Anderson. Be sure to renounce your oaths to masonry & the oaths of your forefathers. Here is also a site that may help you out if you become enlightened and convicted about your involvement. http://www.christian-faith.com/html/page/renouncing_freemasonry

I disagree with your conclusion about something you obviously have no first hand knowledge of.
Like my family for the past 4 generations, I was raised as a Southern Baptist. And still have those convictions.
There has been a working relation of trust between the Baptist faith an many Masons in the U.S. since before James Madison was a member of the Virginia House of Burgess before the American revolution. He gained the support of the Baptist in Virginia because he was against the “establishment” of a state religion (Anglican).
There was always a comfort level between the two organizations until about 20 years ago. I was involved in discussion with the Southern Baptist Convention when the leadership tried to make an issue of this.
They paid for a study to see if the two organizations were compatible, and when the person commissioned to look at the history brought in his report. They simply said they did not agree with his conclusion. The historic facts were not what they sought.
I know you do not support a compulsory faith, and I don’t either.
Be cautious about accepting opinions of authors who go on a witch hunt to discredit this group.
Some healthy advice:
Only associate with those who seek the truth, but run from those who say they have found it.
