Answer 1

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization whose membership is held together by shared moral and metaphysical ideals and—in most of its branches—by a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being.

By all means reasearch as much as your hearts content about the Masonic fraternity but keep in mind that anyone can put something on the internet true or not. 14 or 15 of our Presidents
were Masons most of General Washingtons officers (He knew he could trust them) and most of the founding fathers like Benjermin Franklin and Paul Revere to name a few.( As a matter of fact Revere was captured by the British and released after he identified himself as a Mason). Also they are a secret society as people claim when they in reality are a society of secrets. All masonc rituals and teachings are plastered all over the internet. Some words, keys and grips are kept as secret as possible in this day and age. The bottom line is alot of people have accused the Masons of everything from Satanism to creating a plot to take over the world. They give millions of dollars a day to various charities and the Shriners (also a masonic branch) provide 8 million dollars a day to fund each of thier hospitals that treat children at no charge. Good luck with your seach.
