GLOBAL FREEMASONRY

Today, Masons proclaim Mirandola's heretical idea of the worship of
humanity much more openly. For example, in a local Masonic booklet, it
says:
Primitive societies were weak and, because of this weakness, they di-
vinized the power and phenomena around them. But Masonry di-
vinizes only humanity. 45
In The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, Manly P. Hall explains that this Ma-

sonic humanist doctrine goes back to Ancient Egypt:
Man is a god in the making, and as in the mystic myths of Egypt, on
the potter's wheel, he is being molded. When his light shines out to lift
and preserve all things, he receives the triple crown of godhood, and
joins that throng of Master Masons, who in their robe of Blue and
Gold, are seeking to dispel the darkness of night with the triple light of
the Masonic Lodge. 46
According to the false belief of Masonry, human beings are gods, but
only a grand master reaches the fullness of this divinity (Surely Allah is

beyond that). The way to become a grand master is to fully reject the belief
in Allah and the fact that human beings are His servants. Another writer,
J.D. Buck, touches on this in his book Mystic Masonry:
The only personal God Freemasonry accepts is humanity in toto . . .
Humanity therefore is the only personal god that there is. 47
Evidently, Masonry is a kind of religion. But, it is not a monotheistic

religion; it is a humanist religion and, therefore, a false religion. It is a per-
version that enjoins the worship of humanity, not of Allah. Masonic writ-
ings insist on this point. In an article in the magazine Turk Mason (The
Turkish Mason), it says, "We always acknowledge that the high ideal of
Masonry lies in 'Humanism' doctrine." 48
Another Turkish publication explains that humanism is a religion:

Far from dry sermons on religious dogmas, but a genuine religion. And
our humanism in which the meaning of life takes root, will satisfy the
longings that youth are not aware of. 49
