Do the masons worship together or is it just a shared belief in a supreme being?
When they use the term "Atheist" then, they speak of not believing in a supreme being as opposed to not believing in the God of Abraham?Freemasonry does not require a specific religion. Hindus, Christians, Muslims and others are accepted. It leaves one to find their own pathway to God. It is required however, that you do believe in God in a regular lodge. That being said, there are some irregular lodges that do accept atheists.
I suppose the easiest definition would be that an "irregular" lodge does not work / exist under the by-laws and rules of that regions "grand lodge". It is some lodge that is established either by masons who have fallen from the ranks, or those who do not belong to an established or "warranted" lodge but are trying to mis-represent their connection with the masonic fraternity.What is the definition of an irregular lodge? Does this type of lodge operate not following certain rules?
A belief in deity is necessary "...otherwise no obligation would be considered binding upon you."Sounds like it. Why is it important for a Freemason to believe in some kind of god? and would you describe masonry as a science?
