No, Masonry doesn’t teach anything about anyone’s Faith. As has been stated, you must believe in a higher power to be a member because without that faith we believe you cannot seriously undertake the Fraternities obligations and core tenants, that of Friendship, Morality and Brotherly Love.

There is no teaching of any equality of Faith, the same way there is no path to salvation in the Fraternity. Freemasonry encourages your activity and Faith in YOUR religion whatever that religion may be. In a Lodge containing a large diverse group of Brothers of different religions there may be more than one holy book on the alter that they may use their book as their “rule and guide to faith”
