I have a freemason lodge right across the street from me. They are Christians who invite all faiths to worship God with them, and do community service work. There is nothing nefarious about it.
The Freemasons are a long standing organization which our founding fathers were a part of. Why should I believe that Christians like George Washington and others were part of an evil organization when I can just believe that anti-Christian groups are trying to demonize Christians?
If some reddit neckbeard is telling me that a Christian group is evil and bad, I am far more likely to think that the reddit neckbeard is a far left Christian-hating liberal. Who are these people making these claims against the Freemasons, exactly?
The same demonizing is made about the Knights of Templar, which were Catholic-Christians who opposed mass immigration and organized to protect their homeland.

Don't come at me with AI, Google, and Wikipedia whataboutisms as counter points. The quote I originally linked is literally taken out of Morals & Dogma. You can read the book if you like or just keep believing canned AI search queries.
You want additional proof? Read up on Manly P Hall and other prominent "members" spilling the beans on the organization...
One cannot serve two masters. If you take the Masonic pledge then you've already compromised your faith and opened yourself up to spiritual degradation.
Yeah, stop lying to us.
