Is Freemasonry a religion? |
|
No.
Neither is Freemasonry a religion,
nor does it require a religious affiliation. However, Masons
worship in congregations of their choice. Some are ordained
priests, ministers, or rabbis; many serve in lay capacities; and
others have no affiliation. With origins in post-Reformation
England, Freemasonry's allegories and rituals are rooted in
Judo-Christian tradition. They exemplify mankind's universal
experience and inculcate an admired moral and ethical value
system. With respect to religion, Freemasonry simply teaches the
"Fatherhood of God," and the "Brotherhood of Man." |
|
|
|
Is Freemasonry a secret
society? |
|
No. By definition,
secret societies are organizations who keep everything about
them a secret, even its existence and membership. However,
Freemasonry is a society with secrets. These "secrets" are in
forms of codes, signs and handshakes which are used to identify
fellow Masons. |
