What are masons? Is it a religion? I have heard it is a cult. I also would like to know why some have that G symbol on their bumper stickers and jewelery. I have heard many things about them but still don't know exactly what they are.

Freemasonry is a fraternal organization organized into lodges. Somewhat religion, possible cult... I dont like to pass judgement. lol I think this is what you're looking for. The square and compass symbol with the "G". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry

No, it is not a religion. It is a "fraternal organisation", a group of people who get together regularly in a club and practice rituals whose only function, basically, is to confirm their membership of the club. Apart from a general duty to help fellow masons, there are no great duties upon Freemasons. Freemasonry has no particular religious values other than the acknowledgement of a Divine Power of dome fairly undefined sort. But, while not inherently sinister, freemasonry provides a framework in which sinister things can develop. There have been various scandals which have revolved around Masonic lodges - but they were local scandals inside lodges not a function of masonry itself. Basically, it is a grown-up, well-off, upper middle class version of boys and teenagers gangs. A group of people get together in "my gang" to feel superior to "others" who are not in the gang, and have passwords, special clothing, and rituals which define membership of the gang.

A secret society with a luciferian-worship agenda. My 2 cents. http://www.illuminati-news.com/Articles/67.html
