:Probably because it generally ISN'T regarded as an anti-Christian organisation, except by a lunatic fringe, and there's no reason whatsoever that it should be. Nothing in Freemasonry is contrary to the teachings of Christianity. The Swedish Rite is ONLY open to christians. The book on the altar may be referred to as the Volume of the Sacred Law, but in most Lodges it's a King James Bible. --[[User:JMairs|JMairs]] 11:05, 22 August 2011 (EDT)

==History==
"In 1717 four lodges met together at a public house (pub, or hotel) in London and formed the Grand Lodge of England. It later chartered grand lodges in other countries.
When Adolf Hitler came to power he soon outlawed Freemasonry in Germany." That seems like a very brief history that excludes a lot of important information.--[[User:Burke39|Burke39]] 23:55, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
