"I have debated masons who tell me they have no belief, others say no religion.... really? Then why is it you are given a Masonic Holy Bible?"
I am an openly atheist mason. I also have a collection of religious books, including several different christian bibles. And yet, i'm still an atheist. Is your mind blown?

Religion... as such?
No.
Just the belief in God, GAOTU.
You can't be an atheist an be a Mason.

Too funny. Just because someone gives you a Bible does not mean you have to read it and gobble up everything that is in there.
You do know in predominantly non-Christian countries they have other books besides the Bible?

Unless they changed something, your oath means nothing then.
They don't tolerate liars either.

I'm strictly an outsider as regards the Masons...
What I know about the inner workings of Masonry can be painlessly engraved upon my smallest fingernail...and leave lots of room for other stuff.
However...
This I do know. Masonry doesn't profess any one religion, it merely (merely?) asks that you believe in some form of Godhead.
That's it. As for a Masonic Bible? Tell me, do you believe everyone who tells you stuff?
So now that a mason has basically admitted to the truth (which is rare because they are told to lie about this subject) walk away from this sect, stop paying these ridiculous dues to belong to something that is evil and wicked.

There are non-Regular Masonic Grand Lodges that accept Atheists.
"Folks......here is a mason and he does not deny what I have written but tries to laugh it off."
"Isn't it strange the Masonic bible starts on page 33."
"The difference between a mason and other sects are the yearly fees. Masons charge you more."
Hah. You're so funny. I love it when someone starts professing what other people believe. I have been an openly atheist mason for over twenty years. And like i said earlier, there are plenty of us around. I am not the only one by a long shot. Everyone i talk to knows who i am. Or maybe i should just forget my entire life and just start believing what you say.
