All Freemasons believe in a God and in respect for each other. Regardless of rumor, Freemasonry is not a religion. Each freemason is encouraged to maintain and advance in the religion of there choosing. As a matter of fact, religious and political discussions are strictly forbidden in the lodge.
Prince Hall Freemasonry is a parallel line of Freemasonry, originally started as a Masonic lodge for freed African slaves in the colonies during the Revolutionary war.
Today, the Prince Hall fraternity has over 4,500 lodges worldwide, forming 44 independent jurisdictions with a membership of over 300,000 masons whereby any good-hearted man who is worthy and well qualified, can seek more light in masonry.
