{{cquote|General Albert Pike, whom Marquis names as being a member of the Illuminati, is the one who organized the Ku Klux Klan in the south as well as a 33° Mason. Pike was also head of the southern jurisdiction of freemasonry. He spoke sixteen ancient languages, and is the author of the Masonic bible, Morals and Dogmas, an 816-page book of instructions. According to Marquis, there were two versions of this book, exoteric and esoteric. The exoteric version of Morals and Dogmas was for the lower-degreed Masons, but the esoteric version is allegedly appended with a dictionary or concordance which allows the highest-degreed Mason to understand the actual meanings of the text. This esoteric version is given to the Masonic member, to be returned back to the lodge after the member's death. In Morals and Dogmas, Lucifer is the God of the universe!|||"Overcoming Racism Through the Gospel," p. 310}}
