Freemasonry is more or less a platform for ideas. A stepping stone. If you ask the common Mason, you'll often hear 'You get what you put out', which is about as true of a phrase as you can get.

There are ultimately multiple sides to Freemasonry - The older men use it a social club, to connect, to meet fellow masons and get a free meal lol.

The younger man use it, in my opinion, as its intended purpose - For the betterment of the self through charity, fellowship, and other philanthropic acts.

The third is those who seek to connect it to various esoteric mysticisms. If you ask me, they look far too into the symbology than what is intended, and end up betraying even their own religion in doing so.

There are no 'true' secrets to be revealed in Freemasonry - The secret is what you PERSONALLY get out of it. I have bias of course as seen in my previous text, but you're free to find esoteric meaning in things as well as just use it as a way to modestly help the world or a fellow brother in need.

So it's a gay religion but without a god
