What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is the oldest Fraternal Organization in recorded history. Freemasonry is NOT a secret organization, if it were you would not see Masons wearing rings and buildings with the Masonic symbols displayed.
Freemasonry is NOT a Religion or a Religious place of worship, although we always have a Familiar Religious Script open whenever Lodge is in session. Freemasonry does not proclaim to give or help you get salvation, only to help Men live better and more Moral lives. Freemasonry is something that dwells in a Mans heart. Freemasonry never seeks out members, members seek out Freemasonry.
So if you know someone who is a Freemason and they have never asked you to join, it is not because they do not desire to have you in their organization, however they cannot ask you to join. YOU have to ask them!
Rumors have it that certain religious backgrounds will prevent you from becoming a Mason, this is NOT true, Freemasonry is open to all religions, your religion may prevent you from joining, but Masonry does not, we welcome you with open arms.
Everyone in Freemasonry meets on the same level, no one is more of a Mason than any other, rich, poor, highly educated, or no education, everyone is the same. Your past history can effect you, but if you have put your past behind you some time ago and have lived a Moral life since, then you may be surprised what you can accomplish in Freemasonry.
So now you know. Find a Mason. Ask him how to obtain a petition. Fill it out and turn it in. Start your Masonic travels today.

There are many famous freemasons
"Freemasonry embraces the highest moral laws and will bear the test of any system of ethics or philosophy ever promulgated for the uplift of man."
“To enlarge the sphere of social happiness is worthy of the benevolent design of a Masonic institution; and it is most fervently to be wished, that the conduct of every member of the fraternity, as well as those publications, that discover the principles which actuate them, may tend to convince mankind that the grand object of Masonry is to promote the happiness of the human race.
"Freemasonry teaches not merely temperance, fortitude, prudence, justice, brotherly love, relief, and truth, but liberty, equality, and fraternity, and it denounces ignorance, superstition, bigotry, lust tyranny and despotism."
