worship dark powers have been united. These no more feel the necessi-
ty of hiding their ill will and fight against the Holy Being of God. All aims
and efforts of freemasons lead to one intention: to abolish all social and
religious disciplines of Christianity and establish a new system of rules
based on the principles of naturalism and their own thoughts. 20
This papal analysis made at the end of the 19th century is absolutely
right. When we review contemporary masonic publications, we see that
the basic objective of this organisation is to abolish all religious beliefs in
society. A Turkish freemasonry lodge declares in one of its pamphlets how
religion will be abolished through "the dissemination of positive sciences
to society."
Finally I want to say the following: The most humanistic and Masonic
mission that falls to us is not to divert from positive science and reason,
to disseminate this by acknowledging that this is the best and only way
for evolution, and tutor the public in the positive sciences. The following
words of Ernest Renan are very noteworthy:"If the public is tutored and
enlightened in the positive sciences and reason, then the vain beliefs of
religions will eventually be dismissed." 21
Here, what is meant by "positive science" is essentially "positivist sci-
ence" that is, the materialist philosophy that denies everything that has not
been obtained by experiment and observation. The mission of freemason-
ry, on the other hand, is to impose this philosophy on people in the name
of "science" and thus abolish all religious beliefs. The theory of evolution
has a very crucial role in this indoctrination campaign, as is also made clear
in the quotation above. Freemasonry holds that fostering belief in evolu-
tion in society is its greatest task.
This organisational connection is a very important factor underlying
the reason why both the theory of evolution and materialist philosophy
and its derivatives are so assiduously promoted in all corners of the world.
The organisation of freemasonry and its offshoots have played an impor-
tant role in the systematic propaganda being executed against religious
beliefs over the last couple of centuries. This is why the founders of diverse
-sometimes even contradictory- philosophical systems that deny the exis-
tence of Allah have all been masons.
