Most Freemasons are Christians.

But it's not a requirement they only have to believe in a higher power.

AA says that too. It's still bullshit.

That's very true. But the majority are still very much Christian.

Freemasonry in the 18th and 19th century were radical atheists, anti-monarchists, feminists, and libertines. That's why they had to be so secretive

Modern Freemasonry is just a club
