‘Modern’ Freemasonry is open to all men regardless of race or creed and its members enjoy warm and friendly relations with Co-Masons. 'Antient' Masons are also welcomed into its lodges. It is composed of men from various walks of life with an average age of thirty-five. ‘Modern’ Freemasonry provides continuing education to its members in natural philosophy, science, business, and management. Its stated mission is “the brotherhood of all mankind” and the advancement of geometrical morality. ‘Modern’ Freemasons support various humanitarian and environmental charities such as Habitat for Humanity, NOVA, Amnesty International, and the Nature Conservancy.

‘Antient’ Freemasonry is the most common form of Freemasonry found throughout the United States. It is a social fraternity composed primarily of men aged sixty-five and older that collects monies for its various charities and is perhaps most easily identified by Shriners wearing their red rhinestone covered fez's. ‘Antient’ Freemasons are forbidden by their Grand Lodges to communicate Masonically with Co-Masons or ‘Modern’ Masons, but some choose to ignore this rule.

How was Freemasonry involved in the past and how should we be involved in the future political world.

Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist and most any other religion is connected in some way, or is it? Freemasons do not reject membership based on religious preference. Only the belief in a Supreme Being is required, or is it? This is the most controversal part of Free and Accepted Masons. Tolerance is a virtue so remember that in all your Laudable Pursuits and when posting here.
