Bush is not a Freemason. He's a Skull and Bones man. Those are different organizations.

First of all George W. Bush is NOT a Freemason.
Secondly, if you read the Wikipedia article that you cite, you would see that the "Masonic Bible" was used by presidents who weren't Freemasons.
Conversely, some presidents who WERE Freemasons did not use this book for the swearing in.
George Bush is evil enough without linking him to the Freemasons. And if you honestly care about the truth, Freemasons have nothing to do with the bizarre conspiracy theories with which they are often associated.

Uh, check you facts before spouting nonsense.
Neither he nor his dad are Freemasons. Some people wrongly draw an association with his use of the phrase "new world order" in a 11 September, 1990 televised address to a joint session of Congress, but no regular lodge is on record as having initiated either him or his son, USA President George W. Bush. He was a member of the Skull and Bones fraternity at Yale University; which has certain superficial elements in common with Freemasonry, of which the principal one might be summarized in their motto, "memento mori".

"According to Ryan Johnson, the head of the George Washington Inaugural Bible Committee at St. John's Lodge, the selection of a bible from a non-denominational group may have been an accidental solution to the problem of using the Bible of any one of New York's 22 churches. Using a bible from a fraternal organization meant that no specific church was being endorsed."

That's not a question. It's a statement in disguise. It doesn't belong here.
