You've got to be a dumbass to be brain washed! How can people who are not in masonry know more about it than actual participants?
Probably because we are not blind folded. If you are a normal Christian you have already found the Light and the Light has a name. His name is Jesus Christ. So tell me, why would a "Christian" Mason need to be led around like a scared dog with a blind fold on?
The same reason why you got baptized or take communion. What, is Christ so powerless that he is incapable of recognizing you unless you eat him (if you are Catholic) or drink some juice in a big show of ritual (if you are Protestant)? Is he so helpless he needs you to be dunked in water to see that your serious about your faith?
While freemasonry's rituals are not part of a religion, they still as rituals perform the same basic function as all secular and rituals from religion do - to impress the importance of something on the candidate. For freemasonry, the lesson is the importance of masonic values.
