Freemasonry is tied to the Illuminati origins, which stems from Knights Templar of Catholic Church, from which they were expelled. That history is worth researching. I have several books, and have studied some of areas of the Secret Societies involved.
The NWO is Banks, Bilderbergers/politicians/CEOs, etc., and richest families in world. Knights Templar pillaged thru Europe during the Crusades, and had finances/gold to loan Kings.. supporting Kingdoms until France turned on them, see link.

Jesus warned in the Bible to avoid secret groups. ‘There is nothing hidden that will not be made light’. Avoid Freemasons/Secret Societies.
No, I’m NOT going to ‘avoid’ them. I’ve known too many good men who have been Masons.
And I think that you are greatly misinterpreting Jesus, who told his own disciples, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.” That suggests to me that there are different levels upon which individuals can grasp Truth and through which they can develop; and a philosophical, fraternal institution that wants to ‘make good men better’ seems to me a very valuable adjunct to any religion that men may have.
I think it’s a good idea that people just let other people alone, and quit trying to imply that what someone has found beneficial, is somehow ‘wrong’; and quit trying to force one’s own notions upon others.
Jesus told us how to live, and He told us the first and second greatest commandments.
Quite often, I don’t see those ideals practiced on threads like this.
