i resent the inclusion of the Masonic symbol in this grouping because i have been a member for a dozen years. All i see ( and i have been the Master of a lodge) is that masonry is deeply steeped in bible stories and christianity. Now,that said i have not been at the top level of masonic leadership. We are told that there is no national leadership in the U.S. The highest authority peaks out at the state level, and there is a Grand Master for each state. I don't know what the arrangement is in European countries. But again, all I know at my level is that we are a moral, ethical, and God centered fraternal group.
