Because of the verses in John 3:19 - 21: "...Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
This is interpreted to mean that all the "secret" rituals, etc. of the freemasons must be evil because they will not let those rituals be known outside of their members.

because they are very secretive, private rituals (not religious). So since people don't know what they do, they make up this nonsense (keep in mind, many of our founding fathers were also Freemasons)

It's a misnomer. Just because they eat children, drown kittens,cast magic spells, read horoscopes, draw pentagrams on schools,wear funny robes, chant and pay reverence to Satan doesn't make them devil worshipers.
How politically incorrect can you be? :)
