What do Freemasons believe in?
Again, Freemasonry is not a religion, nor is it a substitute for religion. Masonry’s essential qualification opens the fraternity to men of all religions. Masons are expected to continue to follow their own faith, although neither politics nor religions are discussed during the Lodge meetings. Masons believe in kindness in the home, honesty in business, courtesy toward others, dependability in one’s work, compassion for the unfortunate, resistance to evil, help for the weak, concern for good government, support for public education, and above all, a life-practicing reverence for God and love of fellow man. Freemasons also believe in Three Great Principles that to them represent a way of achieving higher standards in life. The Three Great Principles are: Brotherly Love Every true Freemason will show tolerance and respect for the opinions of others and behave with kindness and understanding to his fellow creatures.
