The Shriner’s Hospitals do great work, especially with children. I have a lot of friends who are Masons and Shriners. All of them are fine, upstanding men.
I have been approached on several different occasions to become a member but I was too involved in other things to give any more of my time.
BTW, all of the Masons I know are Church going Christians. I even had a great Uncle who was a Southern Baptist Pastor who was also a Mason. (This was in the early 1900’s though.)
Dad is a retired Fireman and a devout Catholic.
He was never a Mason, but the Shrine Burn Center and their Children’s hospital work is very close to his heart, to this day.
He got mad at anyone for bashing the Masons.
