I can't answer for catholics . But pertaining to other religions , it's not that they don't know their religion well , it's the other way around . They don't know what Freemasonry is about . They read the ritual and think it's against their religion . Take that back , they want it to be against their religion . Some out there need to hate against something and hating another religion is frowned upon , so they choose to hate Freemasonry , because it's an easy target . They know we will not argue back over it .

Freemasonry is "veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols" because these are the surest way by which moral and ethical truths may be taught. It is not only with the brain and with the mind that the initiate must take Freemasonry but also with the heart. -C. H. Claudy
