The Truth
The Masons are a Male Fraternity not a Religion.
The Masons are men that do believe in a higher power. That higher power can be GOD, Buddha, Confucius, Allah, and so fourth. It does not matter who you believe in, but you have to believe in a higher power.
The true goal of a Mason is to strive to be a better person.
Their focus is to help their fellow man and be a positive influence in improving their communities.
That is who and what the Masons are.
Nothing less and nothing more.
