Masonry and Religion

Masonry, or Freemasonry, is a fraternity that emphasizes moral development, brotherhood, and personal improvement through rituals, symbolism, and shared values. It is not a religion but promotes ethical principles common to many faiths, encouraging members to seek knowledge, integrity, and charity. Freemasonry respects religious diversity, requiring members to believe in a Supreme Being, but it does not prescribe specific religious beliefs or practices. Its focus is on fostering moral character and community service while allowing members to maintain their personal faiths.
