                 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
             countries there are even charitable organizations supported by Masons.
                 The same thing is said by the Rotary and Lion's Club organizations,

             which are "light" versions of Masonry. All of these organizations insist
             that they are working for the good of society.
                 Certainly, to work for the good of society is not an undertaking to be
             discouraged, and we have no objection to it. But, behind their claim there
             is a deceptive message. Masons claim that there can be morality without

             religion, and that a moral world can be established without religion. And,
             the intention behind all their charitable work is to spread this message in
             society.
                 We will see shortly why this claim is so deceitful. But, before that, it
             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-
             scribed in this way:
                 What is human? Where does he come from and where is he going?...

                 How does a person live? How does he have to live? Religions try to
                 answer these questions with the help of moral principles that they
                 have set. However they relate their principles with metaphysical con-
                 cepts like God, heaven, hell, worship. And people have to find their
                 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,
