An examination of the the degrees will reveal that there is a basic theology of Masonry, as follows:
There is a Supreme Being who created the Universe, who has established and revealed a moral law, And to whom we must give account in a life after this.
These
five points are supported by material in the lectures and related
contents of the degrees, such as the discourses on the Working Tools.
But there is nothing in these points that is in conflict with any major religion
of the Western world. (To be sure, there are branches of Buddhism that
are non-theistic, and there are those who do not believe in an
afterlife, but they need not become Freemasons, nor does Masonry seek to
dissuade them from their beliefs.)
