Anti-Masonry

Anti-Masonry is opposition to Freemasonry, a widespread fraternal organization with rituals and symbols. Critics have historically view the group's secretive nature and influence with suspicion, sometimes alleging they wield undue power or promote conflicting allegiances. These concerns led to conspiracy theories and social hostility, especially in the 19th and early 20th centuries, resulting in bans in some countries. However, Freemasonry primarily focuses on fellowship, moral development, and charitable activities, and most members see it as a positive social organization. Anti-Masonry reflects fears and misunderstandings about hidden societies and their impact on society.
