I have never been more torn with this question. If you read masonic material, at least later material, Freemasonry says it is not a religion but:

1. Why is there a Judeo Christian bible sitting on the alter in many lodges and why are we using it to take our obligations on?

2. Why have some "elders" referred to the "G" above the WM head as "God" and some "Geometry"?

3. Why is a belief in Deity a requirement, if this is not a religious organization?

Has anyone else not asked themselves the same questions?
