FAQs
The following are just a few of the commonly asked questions:
Is Freemasonry a secret society?
Freemasonry often gets labeled as a secret society, but this description isn’t accurate when you look at the organization’s openness about its existence, membership, and principles. Freemasons are known to conduct their meetings in lodges, which are easily identifiable in many communities around the world. The membership of many Freemasons is not hidden; in fact, members often openly identify themselves as Freemasons.
Is Freemasonry a religion?
Freemasonry is not a religion, despite having aspects that are religious in character. It does not aim to replace religion or serve as a substitute for the religious beliefs of its members. Freemasonry requires its members to believe in the existence of a Supreme Being, but beyond that, it is inclusive of men from various religious backgrounds and convictions.
What does Freemasonry teach?
Freemasonry teaches a set of ethical principles and values that are designed to be universally acceptable and beneficial, aiming to unite its members across diverse backgrounds through shared moral standards. Here are the core teachings and principles of Freemasonry: brotherly love, relief, truth, tolerance, personal growth, and non-partisanship.
