“Now remember, the only requirement to join Freemasonry is to believe in Deity. I didn’t say believe in the Trinity, I didn’t say believe in the God of heaven and earth, or Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, it is to believe in Deity — to believe in a supreme being or something beyond you. That is why Masonry uses this term ‘deity.’”

I don't believe that either...They require a belief in God, not a deity...

In fact, a belief in God is a requirement for becoming a Mason.

You will be asked about it and tested.

my intiation required belief in a higher power.

When that “God” can be any god, whether it’s Christ, or Allah, or Buddha, or Krishna, then it’s just a belief in a deity they require, not a “big G” God. Same as Alcoholics Anonymous and their “higher power”.

Wrong; they believe that man may become a god.

No, they do not. Masonic ritual makes no reference to a specific deity, though I myself am a proud Christian.
