No Masonry is not a religion.
We do however expect people to believe in a higher power that is greater than oneself .
We have Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Monist and various other faiths represented in our lodges so there are no bars. The only rule is that religion and political discussions are not allowed in lodge or the festive boards.
