Contrary to popular belief, Freemasonry is not a Christian institution. However, Freemasons must believe in the existence of a supreme being. As such, this fraternal organisation welcomes men of any faith, ethnic or social background provided they have a shared belief in the fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of man.

The privilege of admission into the brotherhood of Freemasonry requires not only belief and faith in God, but to possess honourable and noble intentions on the onset. A Freemason is required and obligated to keep the secrets shared with him for the rest of his life and is expected to always uphold his character in line with the teachings of Freemasonry which expounds morality and obedience to the laws of the country in residence. A Freemason is encouraged and expected to be charitable and supportive of not only institutions and organisations, but towards individuals who are in need of assistance.
