Yes, to be considered for a free mason you must have a very long strong explination of your conviction in god. Sorry Masons I exposed one of your secret entrance steps.

To be a freemason you must believe in a supreme being. In the UK most freemasons are christians. All freemasons are religious and they only use the term 'supreme architect of the universe' as a sort of umbrella name so as not to favour any individual religion. NB: FREEMASONRY IS NOT A RELIGION, NOR A SUBSTITUTE FOR ONE.

See http://www.indianafreemasons.com/imoanti/statement.html for more.

Freemasonry promotes indifferentism, the heretical (to Christians) belief that all religions are equally legitimate attempts to explain the truth about God but that this truth will never be explained. This is incompatible with Christian faith because Christians believe that God has definitively revealed Himself in the person of Jesus Christ, and desires that all men come to the knowledge of this truth. Freemasonry's teachings and practices also result in syncretism which is the blending of different religious beliefs into a unified whole. This shown in Masonry's religious rituals, which gather men of all faiths around a common altar, and place all religious writings along side the Bible on the Masonic altar. The Lodge's practice of requiring its members to swear immoral oaths is also incompatible with Christianity. These oaths require a Christian to swear on the Holy Bible that he will uphold a code of moral conduct that prefers Masons to non-Masons, and to preserve secret passwords and handshakes. Such oaths are immoral because they are trivial and not necessary. These oaths are sworn under penalties of physical torture and death (e.g., having my throat cut across, and my tongue torn out by its roots). These penalties show a lack of respect for God.

A great deal of Freemasons are Christians. You are required to believe in a single Supreme Being of your choosing to be a member. That Supreme Being just so happens to be the Christian God, in most cases.

Freemasonry is not a religion, but requires that its members belong to some religion which has a Supreme creator. So Christians, Jews and Muslims are all eligible to join them, but atheists are not. I would guess that Hindus, Pagans and Buddhists would all have some justification to make (Our many Gods are just aspects of the Supreme Creator...)

christians BELIEVE in God and Christ.... maybe they Believe in God but not Christ... they could have FAITH..like Judaists but not Christian...
