Is Rainbow a religious organization?
No! The International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is a youth service organization for young women. It is associated with the Masonic Fraternity, but it is not required to be related to a Mason or Eastern Star or Amaranth member in order to join. Although members are required to uphold the belief in a Supreme Being, girls are encouraged to participate actively in the house of worship of their choice. Many websites state the International Order of Rainbow for Girls is anti-Christian. One requirement for joining the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls is that you believe in a Supreme Being. We encourage girls to be active in the church of their choice, but we do not preach religion.
