It has a long history, and began before Moses' time. You simply need to ask a free mason, and they will tell you in person about it. You won't find any true mason to write the answer for you. I will tell you this much; it was a fraternal order of stone masons, comprising of degrees based on the level of skill the particular stone mason had acquired. It has lasted because of the good it does and because of the closeness it brings to the whole and not the part. There are some books on it at your local library.

Most of the founding fathers of the US were freemasons. While it has often been called a "secret society", it is more correct to say that it is an esoteric society, in that certain aspects are private. From many quarters, Freemasons have stated that Freemasonry has, in the 21st century, become less a secret society and more of a "society with secrets." Most modern Freemasons regard the traditional concern over secrecy as a demonstration of their ability to keep a promise and a concern over the privacy of their own affairs. "Lodge meetings, like meetings of many other social and professional associations, are private occasions open only to members. The private aspects of modern Freemasonry are the modes of recognition amongst members and particular elements within the ritual.
Freemasonry is a fraternal organization whose membership has shared moral and metaphysical ideals and in most of its branches requires a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being.

I think it is an elitest group that has a theory on life and all that it encompasses. Kind of like that movie "The Skulls". I believe that we have had presidents who belonged to this group. I'm not positive about any of this though. Sorry.

i think it's a little deeper than that...like rituals and lots of learning...but it would be a good group to join...
