Masonic authorities, such as Albert Mackey, Albert Pike and Henry Coil, all confirm the fact that Freemasonry is a religion.

    In Albert G. Mackey's "Encyclopedia of Freemasonry," you will find the following: "The religion of Masonry is cosmopolitan, universal…" (volume 1, page 301).

    Henry Wilson Coil writes: "Many Freemasons make this flight [to heaven] with no other guarantee of a safe landing than their belief in the religion of Freemasonry" (A Comprehensive View of Freemasonry page 186).

    "Morals and Dogma" has been called "the most profound Masonic work written in the United States." Within its pages Albert Pike proclaims: "Every Masonic Lodge is a temple of religion and its teachings are instructions in religion" (page 213). And, "Masonry…is the universal, eternal, immutable religion" (page 219).
