However that is very different than describing a non-Christian person or group as anti-Christian.

Which is why I put anti-Christian in quotes, which was a term used by the poster before me. The article that I had linked to concerning the Masons provides an excellent overview of Masonry and why many in the Christian Church deem it evil or "anti-Christian".

Since this subject isn't being dropped, let me ask you this same question again.

Is it possible to be non-Christian without being anti-Christian?

I believe the crux of the church's opposition to lodges is because they are viewed as syncretistic. I do not think that axiomatically indicates "evil" or "anti-Christian".

I interpret it more narrowly and see the church's view as being that lodges practice unionism by worshiping with others that do not worship the same God. That is a rightful objection.

As a Christian, the Scriptures tell me to not be "unequally yoked with unbelievers". However, I do not consider them evil or Christian hating.

My non-Lutheran grandpa was a Mason. He was surely a Christian and not a bit evil. So go figure, huh?
