Is Freemasonry an occultic or satanist group?
No, but it has been suspected of such because of its secrecy, and because it is not exclusively Christian. It is open to people of many faiths. “Freemasonic ritual makes use of the architectural symbolism of the medieval operative Masons, who actually worked in stone. Freemasons, as Speculative Masons, use this symbolism to teach moral and ethical lessons of the principles of “Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth” – or as related in France: “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”.[20] Two of the principal symbols always found in a Lodge are the square and compasses. Some Lodges and rituals explain these symbols as lesson in conduct: that one should “square their actions by the square of virtue” for example. However, as Freemasonry is non-dogmatic, there is no general interpretation for these symbols (or any Masonic symbol) that is used by Freemasonry as a whole.[21] These moral lessons are communicated in performance of allegorical ritual, based on solid foundations of Biblical sources.
