To be a free mason you actually have to beleive in a supreme being there is an actual difference between them and the illuminati/NWO, the illuminati don’t believe in a higher power but the illuminati is made up of three families; The Royals,The Free Masons,and I can’t seem to think of the other one right now.the illuminati also choose to cast subliminal messages into our minds but their ultimate plan is to bring down the world government.However,the free mason family doesn’t agree with the illuminati’s goal and they are trying to break off from them and form their own independant society.
