Anything that teaches a doctrine apart from Christ is "anti-Christian". As far as these oaths, Masons take them very seriously and most have fears of being harmed by others if they were to break rank.

Do all men worship the same God? Ask a Mason that question. But you're right, this belongs in the religion forum!

I'd stand by that statement and can back it up scripturally. Would you like to move over to the religion forum?

I think it is very basic to realize that every religion/philosophy outside of Christianity is obviously not Christian. Duh !!!

However that is very different than describing a non-Christian person or group as anti-Christian. Do we call all people that are not Jews, anti-semites????? Of course not.

It connotes and, for all intents and purposes, means strong oppostion to or hatred for.

It would be utterly absurd to consider all things not Christian to be Christian haters. Thus the term anti-Christian, to most people, is understood to be a case of hatred, prejudice, vengeance toward, etc. and it does not apply to the majority of non-Christians.
