I don't buy that Washington, Jefferson and Adams were just chump change in the line of command within Freemasonry and weren't aware of the top degree "real" agenda. This just doesn't make sense. Being an unaware, unbriefed, lower-degree mason is usually the justification I see when raising this question, but this just doesn't make sense when it comes to our Founding Fathers.
99% of material written by non-Masons are creating an image of the highest ranking members as satanic, control freaks who wish to take over the world through ultimate control and power. Though there is evidence that such a movement is indeed taking place, there is one major contrary fact to me.
First, as others have mentioned, there's no such thing as a "high ranking Freemason." One of the basic truths of Freemasonry is that we all meet on the same level.

The Founding Fathers of the US Constitution were per what I know high ranking Freemasons.

Could you elaborate on your view of this?

You wrote, "George Washington was Worshipful Master of his lodge for one year." How is this title defined within the ranks of Masons?

You wrote, "In order to join masonry, you must profess a belief in one creator, God if you will. So without me telling you anything, does it even make sense that you would be required to believe and worship God, only to be forced to worship Satan once you "reach the higher levels"? "
Does that mean a Creator or Supreme Being as a concept and not necessarily the "God" as described as residing in Heaven in the Bible?
is the Biblical God the one you have to profess a belief in, or is it acceptable to have a belief in a Creator, no matter the identity of such?

This is not true in my jurisdiction as the Scottish Rite is much more secular.
