In order to properly answer the present question, the following Masonic sources will be used for all references and quotations:

• [1]An Encyclopedia of Freemasonry: Albert G. Mackey, M.D. revised editions, 1921
• [2]Morals and Dogma Albert Pike, 1928 reprinted edition
• [3]The Holy Bible, Masonic Edition 1957; masonic sections by Rev. Joseph Fort Newton

  [2],Pg.161:”Masonry is not a religion. He who makes of it a religious belief, falsifies and denaturalizes it. Masonry is the universal morality which is suitable for the inhabitants of every clime, to the man of every creed. It has taught no doctrines, except those truths tend directly to the well-being of men…”

  [1],Pg.477: “Freemasonry is a religious institution and hence its regulations inculcate the use of prayer…”

  [1],Pg.618: “Freemasonry is not Christianity, nor a substitute for it. It does not meddle with sectarian creeds or doctrines, but teaches fundamental religious truth—not enough to do away with the necessity of the Christian scheme of salvation, but more than enough to show, to demonstrate, that it is, in every philosophical sense of the word, a religious institution…”

  [1],Pg.619: “Masonry, then, is indeed, a religious institution; and on this ground mainly, if not alone, should be religious Mason defend it.”

  [1]Pg.149: “The principles of Freemasonry precede the advent of Christianity. Its religion comes from the ancient priesthood; its faith was that primitive of Noah and his immediate descendants. If Masonry were simply a Christian institution, the Jew and the Moslem, the Brahman and the Buddhist, could not conscientiously partake of its illumination.”

  [3]Pg.36: “These two essentials, belief in a Supreme Being and reverence for His Word, establish beyond question the character of the Fraternity as a religious institution.”

  To recapitulate, let us summarize what these Masonic authorities have said regarding whether Freemasonry is a religion, and also its relationship to the Christian:

  1. Freemasonry is a religion, contrary to Albert Pike (complete with faith and doctrine).
  2. Freemasonry is not Christianity, but accepts all faiths equally.

• We at Prophetic News do not endorse Freemasonry! We believe it is the occult. This article shows the demonic nature of this organization. That is why it is here, to show you what the masons believe. We also debunk the myth of George Washington being a “Christian” as he appears in his Freemason uniform.
