I thought so too once, until one family member, heavily involved in FM invited another close family member to a meeting.
The invitee lost interest and stopped going to meetings.
The reaction from the mason was and still is white hot hate towards this person.
That told me all I need to know about them and the fucked up oaths they take.
Happened to my family member too. I don't know if was hate, but the FM family member made as point never to speak to them again because they didn't go on and get the third degree.
Masonry is fine.mostly they compete with catholic knights of Columbus, a direct knock off,for membership. Nothing more than that.
