Is freemasonry a religion? Is it actually Satanism?

Question

Or is worshiping demons just part of freemasonry?

Answer 1

Freemasonry is not a religion, and it holds none of the trappings by which an organization might be defined as a religion. Not being a religion, Freemasonry does not nor does it advocate the worship of anything.

A Freemason as an individual may hold any number of different points of view on his own religion and method of worship. Freemasonry only requires men possess a belief system which recognizes One Supreme and supernatural Creator of all the universe. (This disqualifies satanists, atheists, agnostics, and most pagans). By which faith or manner of this requirement a Mason as an individual so chooses to worship the Creator as he himself believes in is entirely his own business.



(Rule #1 defining a "religion" is that practitioners share a unified idea and belief in who or what "God" is and precisely how that "God" is to be worshipped. this is absent in Masonry. No unity of belief, no religion.)



Masonry is comprised of men who share certain ideals in common, not necessarily common beliefs.

Answer 2

Freemasonry is not a religion, and it does not involve the worshiping of demons. It's essentially socially networking society.

Answer 3

No its not a religion and its not satanic. Its just a fellowship basically. A group of people who do their thing. Its no different than any kind of club.

Answer 4

They are secret bricklayers. Something more? Probably not too much, but everyone love to expand.

Answer 5

This excerpt quote from the Catholic Encyclopedia is very revealing:

In the same way the Greeks and Romans may have worshipped their divinities, fondly believing them to be good. But the Christian Scriptures declare that all the gods of the Gentiles are demons.

The Origins of Satanism



Satanism is not a Christian invention

Satanism predates Christianity and all other religions

Satanism is not about spooks, goblins, vampires, Halloween monsters or other related entities

Satanism is not about "evil"

Satanism is not an invention of, or a "reaction" to Christianity

Satanism is not a creation of Anton LaVey

Satanism is not about death

True Satanism is about elevating and empowering humanity to reach equality with the Gods, which was our True Creator (Satan's) intention

"IN THE SECRET OF MY KNOWLEDGE THERE IS NO GOD BUT ME"

-SATAN

From "Peace Be Unto Him"







The original religions now known as "Satanism" (by the way, "Satan" means "enemy" in Hebrew), were all based upon what is known as the "Magnum Opus" or Great Work. The one known as "Satan" is our True Creator God. He was prevented by the other Gods from finishing his work on humanity, that of the godhead. The godhead is physical and spiritual perfection. Now, if you continue to read on, I will prove this.



The serpent is seen everywhere in ancient relics and structures. The serpent was held sacred in all areas of the ancient world. Satan is the God Ea, aka ENKI, one of the first of the Nephilim to arrive on this planet and establish the first civilization. In Sumerian mythology, Enki's symbol was always the serpent.

The serpent represents the DNA, the life force and the kundalini and has survived as the emblem of the American Medical Association and Veterinary medicine, where it is symbolic of life and healing. Only with the coming of Judeo/Christianity, has this sacred symbol been desecrated and blasphemed.





Nearly all of us are familiar with the term "fallen." This word has been used copiously by Christian clergy to refer to Satan and his Demons. In truth, "fallen" pertains to the kundalini serpent (which has always been associated with our Creator God Satan), which has fallen in humanity as a whole and now lies dormant at the base of the spine. Because of this, humanity as a whole is on a very low level of spiritual understanding. Thoughtless abuses of children and animals, senseless wars, brutality and endless corruption are the results of the fallen serpent. The "Tree of Life" which was stolen from the ancient Pagan religions and found its way into the biblical book of Genesis, was seen in many parts of the ancient world.

Answer 6

It is more like an organization than a religion. Kind of like the Boy Scouts are an organization that require a belief in a deity but dont really have any particular tenets of beliefs.



It is not satanic. It is just kind of like a club.

Answer 7

Worshipping demons is none of Masonry. You don't understand it at all. Try reading a book entitled, "The Hiram Key".

Answer 8

Heh. Trollfail. Freemasonry is a secret society which has monotheistic beliefs. Which deity you believe in doesn't matter, just so long as you have one.

Answer 9

It is a religion. Not clearly recognized by the vast majority though, as most of its practices are more secret society-esque. And Satan is very involved in freemasonry.

Answer 10

It's all about manipulating and gaining control over the universe. Anything that serves the purpose will do...walking over dead bodies, black magic, advanced technology...anything, except mercy.

Answer 11

i heard a lot of rumors that they worship the devil but its really a sausagefest. a group of rich powerful men join and do things in secret. i am not sure what things they do though.
