Uh, not all are Christian or white. There are many lodges encompassing Filipino or Asian brothers. There’s also the Prince Hall masons for African-Americans. Additionally, the Scottish Right are not Christian-based like the Knights Templar.

You’re right. I am not saying that. I am generalizing based of experience and 95% plus of the masons I encounter. Prince hall exists where I was too ;)

You have to go through the Blue Lodge before you can go into the Scottish Right, and you must be religious to join the former. So yeah, the vast majority of members are Christians.

Being religious and being a Christian aren’t the same thing. There are Hindu Freemasons too. The only requirement is believing in a creator.

Right, but the vast majority of Masons are Christian even in the Scottish Rite.
