Can you make an argument without resorting to a logical fallacy?

To just clarify, as Freemasons, we do not use "level" as an indication of one's progress through Freemasonry. For the Blue Lodge and several other
concordant/appendant bodies of Freemasonry, the term used is "degree", but you sometimes see "order" or "grade" used. A degree can be defined as "one
of the progressive stages of advancement in the lodge and conferred using a ritual ceremony" (paraphrasing off of Chris Hodapp's definition).

There's nothing Satanic about Freemasonry. You should probably do some research before you continue making yourself look stupid.

Ritual isn’t just important to Freemasonry; it is an important aspect of society and human existence. There are a number of categories of rituals
such as social rituals, military rituals, celebratory rituals, worship rituals, funerary rituals, bardic rituals, and initiatic rituals. Freemasonry
is filled with a variety of rituals, but the most notable is the initiatic or initiation rituals. Rituals remind us of what is important as well as
providing a sense of stability and continuity in our lives; it educates us in the values of an organization, allows for knowledge to be passed from
generation to generation unchanged, and binds the members together, not just in the Lodge, but across time and space.

There is nothing "unsavory" about the rituals used in Freemasonry.
