I was thinking of this on how to help you understand rather that get frustrated with your sense of logic. Here’s the deal. We don’t require that you belong to a religion. We require the belief in God, however you define Him. They don’t ask what your Religion is. You simply must be of legal age, an upstanding citizen (no felons), believe in a supreme being and be well recommended.
Seems to me that all they would have to do is ask if your particular faith precludes membership. If someone says yes, well it’s on the Masons if they let them join. If someone says no, but it really does preclude membership, then it would be on the person joining.
Why would they want someone whose faith specifically teaches that they shouldn’t join, considering that faith is a requirement?
