Amen, Brother -- All of that AND which makes Good Men better, too!

The reason why it was banned was because the Masons ran their organizations by using a constitution and by holding elections, something dictators decry. Dictators do not want their subjects to know what it's like to rule by a constitution and by having elections.

Masons are usually executed in countries ruled by dictators.
