“Thanks for admitting that freemasons don’ worship the Holy Trinity...”

Didn’t admit that at all. Said we worship diety and we respect the worshiping of everyone’s diety to include yours. You use the phrase Holy Trinity which is the way of describing God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. If they are the same God, are you not worshipping one God, the same as we do expect opur members to? And unlike you, we do not profess that our God, as you put it, is not the holy trinity and is different from yours. We are not a religion, we are a bunch of people that are religious and are accepted for what they do with their religion. You only accept your religion, and no one elses. You need to read your bible a little more. You are so busy pointing fingers at things you do not know that you are failing to see what you think you are may not be.

Bible, King James Version
Matt.7 Verses 3

[3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

HUMANUM GENUS
ENCYCLICAL OF POPE LEO XIII ON FREEMASONRY

At this period, however, the partisans of evil seems to be combining together, and to be struggling with united vehemence, led on or assisted by that strongly organized and widespread association called the Freemasons. No longer making any secret of their purposes, they are now boldly rising up against God Himself. They are planning the destruction of holy Church publicly and openly, and this with the set purpose of utterly despoiling the nations of Christendom, if it were possible, of the blessings obtained for us through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Lamenting these evils, We are constrained by the charity which urges Our heart to cry out often to God: "For lo, Thy enemies have made a noise; and they that hate Thee have lifted up the head. They have taken a malicious counsel against Thy people, and they have consulted against Thy saints. They have said, 'come, and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation.'(2)

...

There are several organized bodies which, though differing in name, in ceremonial, in form and origin, are nevertheless so bound together by community of purpose and by the similarity of their main opinions, as to make in fact one thing with the sect of the Freemasons, which is a kind of center whence they all go forth, and whither they all return. Now, these no longer show a desire to remain concealed; for they hold their meetings in the daylight and before the public eye, and publish their own newspaper organs; and yet, when thoroughly understood, they are found still to retain the nature and the habits of secret societies. There are many things like mysteries which it is the fixed rule to hide with extreme care, not only from strangers, but from very many members, also; such as their secret and final designs, the names of the chief leaders, and certain secret and inner meetings, as well as their decisions, and the ways and means of carrying them out. This is, no doubt, the object of the manifold difference among the members as to right, office, and privilege, of the received distinction of orders and grades, and of that severe discipline which is maintained.
