Could you expand on what it's like/what do you do in that environment?


We have the business side, and then we have the social side (we call it harmony").

We tell jokes, play songs, instruments, play cards, drink, go bowling etc

Because it's dying a death. Young people aren't interested.


On that, we agree.

Well, where I am from, it is over-representated by Protestants. But In Italy and Spain Roman Catholics.

We take all religions, the only thing we require is that we believe in a "Supreme Being." If you don't believe in "a" god, then you can't join. Your god could be Allah, Buddha, pikachu, the cookie monster, doesn't matter. But atheists won't get in.


so basically its like another religion? i thought that Freemasons are waiting for the messiah so do you believe he/she would be God? for so what happens when you join? does it make any difference to your life?

No, it is not another religion. We are not waiting for a messiah. We are not waiting for the day of judgement.

As to does it make a difference to my life? let us just say there have been times when situations turned out more favourably purely/primarily due to my membership.

To gauge people's genuine reactions, they may conceal it or be biased, if they knew my identity.
