I would argue that there is quite clearly a secret society (or multiple) that forms the core of Freemasonry, surrounded by what you describe, a fraternity with secrets. I believe that fraternity with secrets is nothing more than a front group used to improve public image and reception. I see the same thing happening with religions like Tibetan Buddhism or the Catholic Church. Freemasonry only seems to be a much more secretive and organized version of that same pattern.
All of what you're describing would line up with what we've heard from the whistleblowers who were high level in the order, which is that most low level Freemasons have little if any clue what their organization is truly about, and Christians or anyone with a moral compass that won't break are strung along for as long as they're useful but never allowed too high up. Having genuinely good people, especially if they're Christians, around the community promoting Freemasonry is great for them to maintain their public image and recruit.
Now that said, I'm not saying anything is impossible. There could be factions within Freemasonry that truly follow Christ and want the organization reformed or returned to some better past. There could even be a core within that corrupted core pulling its own strings. There could be people who are into all that new age stuff which I believe is wrong and dangerous, but are still opposed to outright satanists and Luciferians. I don't claim to have all the answers but I know that people who seek God and find Him have already joined a sort of brotherhood where there is one leader and everyone is already welcome to a 24/7 personal meeting time with Him. Lies and secrets are discouraged, impossible when dealing with the Boss, and membership is automatic.
The church is also a belonging you are correct. And ultimately a more important one. But we can be a part of many groups in life as long as we are true to our hearts. The whole “theres actually a society within a society“ is an argument Ive heard many times but im trying to tell you that ive seen no evidence of any of this and trust me i would have already heard something because masons talk BETWEEN masons ALOT. If i ever uncover something untoward ill report it here and exit the fraternity. I can promise you that
