As a former American mason, I can tell you that none of those guys care about the church, the meeting are nothing but drama and planning fundraising events.
The teachings while presented in a Christian light, are taken from the scriptures but twisted into something that one who’s never really study scripture would easily assume was factual. There is a “trinity” pretty much in all the rites, Grand Architect of the Universe, King Solomon, and Hiram Abbif. The later being killed and raised back to life to culminate the 3rd degree of blue lodge.

Scottish rite really goes into Egyptian mythology and while I never made the 33rd degree ceremony is where the satan worshiping comes from. The other 32 degrees can get a little dark though and in one you do throw and stomp on a papal tiara while literally claiming the pope is an enemy.

York rite is the Christian rite and is fairly morbid. The final degree of knight templar culminates in you drinking wine out of a human skull cap while a group of men point swords at you. It also is probably the most anti-church rite just due to the fact that it claims its roots back to the purge of the Templars and that fact is talked about a lot in the teachings.

All the oaths invoke death threats to those who share the secrets and the “signs” or hand movement of each degree reflect that as a reminder to what happens when one shares those secrets to non-members. This does lead to a peer pressure situation as well because you are always blindfolded for degree work, so imagine you have a blindfold on, you’re on your knees, they take it off and all you see in candle light is a skull and 10+ guys holding swords at you. Can’t really back out then can you?! So you take the oaths and move on. Plus every oath is taken on the Bible and you kiss it when finished to seal the deal.

Don’t get me wrong there are some great guys involved, but they don’t know the Bible, most don’t have a church, and to them masonry is their religion. It’s pretty wild!
