I worked for a guy that wanted me to go to a meeting with him once. I have no clue why he thought I would like that or they would like me. I was a dope smoking communist at the time. I am glad I did not go, I probably would have been busted in the parking lot after the meeting.
Regarding their religions, they are encouraged to attend a church of some kind. I knew one that went to a Religious Science church. The Baptists are the only ones that have an open policy about that, it is not hostile really, they just feel that Christianity and Free Masonry conflict. Most Masons are basically good guys AFAIK. They seem to be real active in law enforcement, same goes for Baptists come to think of it.
The one I knew that was a judge was a big Church attender, Eastern Orthodox it was. He had some good stories. He got pneumonia and was in a hospital. After awhile he realized that one wing of the hospital was a rehab place and he had sent many people there. He expressed some concern to the staff. The next morning there was a crowd of people outside his window from the rehab, all there to wish him well, they got him a get well card and everything.
Freemasonry claims it goes back thousands of years but no record of it exists before about the seventeenth century. They were instrumental, very instrumental I am told by one of them, in the American Revolution. Supposedly, the night of the Boston Tea Party, the attendance for the Masonic meeting was zero.
The Catholic Church is a big opponent of Freemasonry, it's like Democrats and Republicans now that I think about it.
