In its day, it was pure politics. 14 Presidents including Washington have been Masons.
Plenty of circa 1800 articles attaching Washington to the ceremonies of Masonry.

If you ever take a tour of the frescoes in the Senate gallery, there is one with washington doing the capitol cornerstone ceremony dressed in mason attire. (BTW the frescoes are really worth seeing, the dome frescoes are the only example of the founders alongside mythological figures)

Washington ultimately rejected masonry, which is what led to his death.
