Left: an anti-masonic drawing from a Nazi newspaper: "Masonic humanism means equality between the races". Right: anti-masonic 19th century drawing; the Mason is making some secret sign which reveals his "true allegiances".

It needs to be pointed out here that anyone who finds Masonry to be in conflict with his faith has a perfect right to leave Freemasonry and to communicate the reasons for this to others. Morally, I would say that these people are not bound by their masonic oaths if they have encountered something ungodly or anti-Christian in their lodge; their conscience must finally judge such matters. The preeminence of a man's conscience is an important part of Masonic teaching. Indeed, it is possible that the teachings of some cults and sects which call themselves "Christian" are incompatible with Freemasonry.

Nevertheless, truth is even more important. The claim that all forms of Freemasonry are fundamentally incompatible with Christianity, is false. As are many of the allegations against Freemasonry.
