How do the Masons serve this false religion they believe in? To see
this, we must look a little more closely at the messages that they dissemi-
nate to society.
HUMANIST MORAL THEORY
Today, Masons in many countries are engaged in an effort to intro-
duce themselves to the rest of society. Using press conferences, Internet
sites, newspaper advertisements and statements, they describe them-
selves as an organization solely dedicated to the good of society. In some

which are "light" versions of Masonry. All of these organizations insist
that they are working for the good of society.

will be useful to consider the views of Masons on this subject. On the Ma-
sons' Internet site, the possibility of "morality without religion" is de-

principles of life without being involved in metaphysical problems,
which they need to believe in without comprehending. Freemasonry
has been declaring these principles for centuries as freedom, equality,
