Very good. Some, though, believe they go
as far back as the pyramid builders. That
would be the Memphis Rite.

No, it is not a religion. This is not to say that Masons
do not have religious beliefs. One of the tenets of the
Masonic Fraternity is that its members are free to express
their beliefs in the religion of their choice. However, it is also a condition
of membership that each recognize that the wonders of the universe
are not here as a result of any accident or of man's
doing. But as a result of a Supreme Being, no matter the
name given, who brings order and purpose to our existence.
It is dedicated to promoting improvement in the character
of its members first thus improving the lives they touch.
A Mason is taught to be a good citizen. To be of good
character. To care for those less fortunate and to give
back to the community.

Freemasonry, according to the facts I found, is an organization which holds moral and metaphysical ideals declared by some sort of Supreme Being. It is a mysterious society established in the 17 century in Britain. It is a fraternal organization with ideals to making the world a utopia based on its own point of view. Some scholars consider this society carries certain religious characteristics.

absolutely not a religion, freemasonry is an ancient and honorable fraternity, ancient, as having existed from time immemorial and honorable, as tending to make all men so who are strictly obedient to its precepts.
i know so, because i am a freemason and am proud of it.
