reemasonry is a subject that has attracted much discussion for centuries. Somehave accused Masonry of fantastic crimes and misdeeds. However, instead of try-ing to understand "the Brotherhood" and criticizing it objectively, critics have been un-duly hostile to the organization.This book contains a true exposition of Masonry as a school of thought. The most im-portant unifying influence among Masons is their philosophy—which can be best de-scribed according to such terms as "materialism" and "secular humanism." But, it is anerrant philosophy based on false suppositions and flawed theories, as you will see inthis book.In this book, the reader will also be presented with a summary of the history of theMasons’struggle against theistic religions. Freemasons have played an important rolein distancing Europe from religion, and in its place, founding of a new order based onthe philosophies of materialism and secular humanism. The reader will also see howMasonry has been influential in the imposition of these dogmas—and a social orderbased on them—on non-Western civilizations.After reading this book, the reader will be able to consider many aspects, from schoolsof philosophy to newspaper headlines, rock songs to political ideologies, with a deeperunderstanding, and better discern the meaning and aims behind events and factors.
