Freemasonry is a fraternal organization dedicated to Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth.
Brotherly Love - How a man chooses to practice his personal religious beliefs is left entirely up to him, but Freemasonry recognizes the strong bond which unites all people under One Creator. Our members include men from a wide range of religious backgrounds, but each of them shares a commitment to this important principle.
Relief - Because of our strong bond of Brotherly Love, Masons provide Relief to help those who are in need. This includes the notion of charity, and Masons provide much assistance to worthy charities, but it also means offering a helping hand, in other ways, to people that need assistance.
Truth - As Masons, we are committed to being honest and truthful with other people. The Masonic Fraternity teaches a man to be faithful to his responsibilities to God, his Country, his fellow man, his family and himself. The Masonic principle of Truth also teaches a man to search for wisdom and understanding. For only in this way can he grow and become a better person. The pursuit of knowledge is at the very heart of our purpose.
The big secret is that we make good men better. Simple as that! We believe that men are first made Masons in their hearts, then they ask to join our Fraternity. Freemasonry will take these men — good men in their communities — and help them become better men. Each man brings something different into the Fraternity, as different as the types of men that become Masons. But each shares a common core of beliefs and of dreams; each believes that, in a small way, by their actions they help make their world, their communities, and themselves better.
Also look up Shriners Hospitals.

A freemason is a member of the fraternity called "The Freemasons." It is said that they hide the secret of the true location of the Holy Grail, and the story of Jesus's life. Here are some websites that should explain this in a more detailed way:

Apparently, Its like some kind of cultish organization and they believe in a "supreme being" not God but their own "being" I don't know the secret, I looked it up on the Internet but that doesn't give much either.

It's a secret society like the Klu Klux Klan, and being a member helps you get on in life no matter how stupid you are.
