In further follow up, I am aware of the theoretical construct that non-Jews or non-Christians can be masons, but it would seem rather empty.

I mean, the whole building, theme, and ideals surround the work of Soloman building a Temple to God of Abraham.

All the symbolism is Jewish or Christian. For example, the white lambskin apron worn by masons is a symbol of un-earned Grace GIVEN to Christians.

The floor of a lodge is the same as the floor of Kind Soloman's temple, etc.

Just makes no sense for a non-Christian or non-Jew to be interested.

Unless they want to rule the world. Speaking of which, the article at the head of this thread states that Masonry is part of something bigger than what the average Mason is aware. If so, why then is it taking us so long to achieve whatever it is we are to achieve?
