The FreeMasons are NOT a religion, they are NOT a cult, they are NOT tied to ANY religion, and more specifically, they are NOT a CHRISTIAN organization. FREEMASONRY IS A FRATERNAL ORGANIZATION, WHICH DOES CHARITABLE GOOD WORKS!
Any man, who believes in GOD, is of good character, and wishes to join, is eligible to join. Masons don't force their members to believe that Jesus is their Saviour, nor do they exclude Jews from being members.
You represent little truth and seek to deceive.
Freemasonry excludes any person who believes in God through faith in Christ from their organization unless they deny Christ. This thread, though, is not directed at FM. The issues at hand is to discuss how elitism might be circumventing Constitutional procedure.
Please respect Calpernia in her attempt to foster a worthwhile discussion.
