What it means to be a Mason

Georgetown - David Shea of Georgetown, current Master of the Charles C. Dame Lodge in Georgetown, credits being a Mason with making him a better person. Although Masonry is not a religion, the Masons are a highly spiritual organization and its members hold themselves to a high moral standard of conduct, according to Shea.
The organization was established in Massachusetts in 1733, and the Georgetown Lodge was established in 1867.
A prerequisite for becoming a Mason is the belief in a Supreme Being, but the organization does not play favorites when it comes to which religion its members practice. Masonic leaders and members are worshippers in the Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Moslem and other monotheistic religions.

This is a timely question because I was also thinking of asking the same question. It just so happen that you post it first.
