If you were to read the original State Constitutions you would find things like this from Delaware.

“ART. 22. Every person who shall be chosen a member of either house, or appointed to any office or place of trust, before taking his seat, or entering upon the execution of his office, shall take the following oath, or affirmation, if conscientiously scrupulous of taking an oath, to wit:

” I, A B. will bear true allegiance to the Delaware State, submit to its constitution and laws, and do no act wittingly whereby the freedom thereof may be prejudiced.”

And also make and subscribe the following declaration, to wit:

” I, A B. do profess faith in God the Father, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, and in the Holy Ghost, one God, blessed for evermore; and I do acknowledge the holy scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be given by divine inspiration.”

And all officers shall also take an oath of office.”

They didn’t have it in the Federal Constitution because they looked at such things as states rights. BVB

I suspect you are correct.

On another note, I also suspect that over the past century, at least from WWI through the Korean War, many Masons were controlled by Christians, but since that time the Masonic institutions became controlled by antiChristian forces.

IMHO, one of their tactics, similar to some Muslims, has been to rewrite history to favor antichristian perspectives/ interpretations of history. This convolutes historical revisionism, not accurately portraying the Divine rewards which may have been given the nation in the past or falsely attributing such rewards to other proximate causes, promoting a false worship of things antichristian.

I concur with your analysis though. Other than their being enemies of Christ, I don’t understand the present favoritism for promoting Islam and continuing hindrance of all things Christian by present American leaders on both sides of the political fence. Perhaps it is simply allowing them to believe lies when they have rejected the truth.
