Freemasons are not bad at all. They are devoted to their own personal improvement and to helping others. Masons give millions of dollars to charity every day, in order to help out their fellow creatures. Masonic principles are in every way consistent with the principles of Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Sikhism, and members of all these religions are members of Freemasonry. Freemasonry has no political agenda of any kind, and its members are forbidden from discussing partisan politics.

No. The Masonic lodge is a fraternal organization. They do not worship Satan, like some Christians would have you believe. There are some secret initiation rites, but none of it involves worshiping Satan.
No. Although Freemasons are much less than 5% of men, almost half of the US Presidents have been Masons.
Freemasons hold responsible positions at every level of government and private industry, and Shriners, the highest level of Freemason, support children's hospitals all over the US.
In the eastern US there are Masonic Lodges that are composed almost entirely of Police Officers and Firefighters.
No. The Freemasons are a civic minded fraternity that is involved with a lot of charities and community service. Yes many world leaders are masons, but the masons are no worse than a college fraternity ( minus the parties and drinking and stuff). There are many Masonic conspiracy theories, but none of them are true. Many of those theories involve aliens and other illogical things.

Any man over the age of 21 (or 18 in the case of University Lodges) can apply to join the Freemasons, regardless of race, colour, religion, political views or social or economic standing. It should also be noted that Freemasonry is a non-religious and non-political organisation, and discussion of politics and religion are forbidden at lodge meetings
No, Freemasonry is an organization dedicated to supporting religion, improving morals, stimulating intellectual growth, and assisting those in need. None of these can be called bad.
Some are good, some are bad. But none of the conspiracy theories are true. If a Freemason is found to be a criminal he can be and probably will be expelled from the organization.
Freemasons aren't evil; just misunderstood because of some items (such as passwords and grips) that we don't share with the general public.
