Freemasonry is a philanthropic, philosophical, international, symbolic and non-religious organism, where individuals associate in lodges under the norms of fraternity. Its objective is to promote the intellectual and moral progress of people. These lodges work as institutions that serve as support, being intertwined and under the command of a higher entity than what they call the "Grand Lodge".
This secret society arose between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in Europe. Its purpose was to prepare its members in the growth of reflective capacity and dialogue. Motivating its members to spread the values acquired among the people around them.
Both the origin, its activities and the way in which they are organized are the subject of discussion, since due to its secret nature, it is difficult to have access to that information. In general, it is believed that they are organized hierarchically, existing levels between them: the apprentices, represent the initial grade, so they are integrated by pure novices. The next grade is "peers", this is the level of learning. And finally there is the degree of "teachers", at this level is the Mason who actively participates in everything related to the organization.
The Freemasonic cult can be analyzed from two currents: regular Freemasonry, which is based on traditional norms. And liberal freemasonry that is not guided by any doctrine or religion.
Regular Freemasonry by being a supporter of treacherous principles, among which stand out: the duty to believe in God, or as they also call it the "architect of the universe." The duty to believe in the immortality of man. Being male.
For its part, liberal masonry is based on the principle of complete freedom of conscience of each of its members, they are supporters of social freedom and the debate of all aspects, including the religious and political aspect; in addition to accepting the role of women in each of its lodges.
In summary, the Freemasonic cult does not represent a sect and much less a religion, since it lacks any dogma, however it respects all Faith or belief. It is driven by three unique principles: liberty, equality, and fraternity. The most specific way to understand and use these principles is not indicated in any writing, each Mason has the responsibility to seek it and execute it personally according to his conscience.
In the Freemasonic cult opinions are not judged since they are considered free, only attitudes are judged, they must be free and devoid of all kinds of prejudices.
