    I really don’t understand. I am not a Freemason, but my dad was and I knew many. I did go through the first initiation and decided I didn’t want to continue (just personal choice and didn’t want to commit time to it).

    They espouse belief in a higher being (typically God, but no one asks). There are “secrets”, but these are covered in books you can get at a library. They basically do charity work and it’s a place to belong to - like a frat.

    This ban screams ignorance.

      Idk maybe you didn’t finish enough degrees. Pretty sure when you hit degree 25 (Knight of the Brazen Serpent) is when they tell you about the lizard people being the true higher beings.
