Many churches have thrown them out of their fold cause they are not bibically sound...I can personally see why they do, not being religious myself, I must say that they do not meet their criteria for their club, they have every right to throw them out, its their club btw...same goes for any club or church for that matter, if you don't like it, go where your accepted and where your afflications are accepted...otherwise do not be a troublemaker.
LOL - most of you are way off and I'll reply to hopefully enlighten someone who reads this thread. It's just a fraternity. A group which men who want to network with other good people join.
Their rituals and stories are fundamentally just about being a good person. That's all. The only requirement for membership (other than being a man) not addressed by a general statement about being a good person, is that you need to have fundamental belief in god. You can be jewish, muslim, christian, ecetera. This is not a religious cult, you aren't forced to change your beliefs.
There several reasons why historically Churches took issue with Freemasonry and none of them are particularly relevant today, to anyone reading this forum. I would seriously hope that good people who believe in god don't buy into the crap that so many people expouse to scare others away Freemasonry.
If you're going to join a fraternity, this is a great one to consider. They do great things such as raise big, and I mean really big money for Shriner Children's Hospitals and many other community, regional, national, and even International charity organizations.
All you anti-Mason conspiracy nuts out there, please take a $1 bill out of your pocket. That pyramid on the back, if you didn't know, is a Masonic symbol.
So, to cleanse yourself from this "cult" please send me all your $1 bills. I will be happy to take this pagan burden off your hands.

I'll be back later to break this piece by piece. Stay tuned if you want. Feel free to add anything else you would like to tell people about it before I add to it for you.
