And your proof of this would be? My dad's a cop and he's not a Freemason.

Actually, Abraham Lincoln was a Freemason, as well John Wilkes Booth
Neither Abraham Lincoln or Booth were Freemasons. If you believe so and have proof of it, then I challenge you to provide some evidence of this (ie their home Lodge and dates of initiation.

That's what I mean, by most people it represents Freemasonry
But in reality it doesn't.

The York Rite is inherently Christian.
It's a private organization and no one is forced to join, so it has no effect on non-Christian members.
Your dad is not "many cops."
Abraham Lincoln spoke at his best friend's Masonic funeral. He also received a Masonic eulogy after his own funeral. If he wasn't a Mason then he sure walked and talked like one. John Wilkes Booth was a member of the Grand Lodge of Rhode Island.
In the minds of most people it does, and your "open society with secrets" has failed to sway public opinion of this fact.
It has an effect on people who don't like Christianity.
