From my understanding, based on the majority of the lodge's religious beliefs determines what actually sits on the alter. While the Bible may be on the alter in one lodge, the Quran may be in another.

Which still raises the question, if Freemasonry is not a religion why do we have "any" item of a traditional religion there. Why not the Freemason constitution, as from my understanding, was done in the ancient times of freemasonry. Someone correct me if I have my facts skewed here.
