I would not join the freemason religion. Well actually I would not be ALLOWED. What if I turned up and said I believe we just are, that there is no creator of any kind! Would I be accepted for what I believe? NO! You are part of a religion, sorry.

But "they" (as in any freemason i've seen on here and elsewhere) only refer to other masons as brother. I've never seen them call a non mason brother.
You can be a religion because you put your beliefs about what god is to one side and then follow another set of beliefs, and that is one that you all follow. The degrees or whatever you call them. There is another religion btw that lets you be of any faith, can't remember it's name now though.

Really? And you bought that? It proves nothing! Lots of religions do not knock on doors or "recruit" even the catholics do not knock on doors. And in fact that is a negative for them. If they truly believe you will go to hell if you do not follow the path shouldn't they knock on doors? Didn't jesus say to go from door to door and in the streets?
Anyway the masons are on youtube recruiting, so you were saying?
