Freemasonry is a fraternal organization which uses metaphors of stonemason's tools as titles for the different ranks and areas of the organization.
The organization has always been known for its charitable works, and requires that members remain morally upright - most branches require you to acknowledge belief in the Supreme Being, but they allow you to define which Being you worship (you can be a Freemason if you are Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, or any other religion) - and to develop and maintain fraternal loyalty between members.
The 33rd Degree is a rank that a member can achieve within the Scottish Rite Temple; the title is Master of the Royal Secret or Sublime Prince of the Royal Secret, depending on which area the lodge is in.

No. The 33rd degree is part of the Scottish Rite system, and represents the governing body for the jurisdiction in question. No part of Freemasonry involves worship of Satan or even discussing him. The Scottish Rite is, in part, explicitly Christian in nature.

This is a pointless question because no answer can be posted here. If you want to know something that only 33rd Degree Masons know, and you are not a 33rd degree Mason yourself, then the moment you learn it, it is no longer something that only 33rd degree Masons know. This is like asking someone to post an answer that never has and never will be posted on WikiAnswers.com.
What is the highest degree that a freemason can attain?
The highest degee in Freemasonry is the Third degree, That of a Master Mason. The Scottish Rite (a separate organization requiring one to be a Mason to belong) has numbered degrees from 4th to 33rd degree which last is an honorary one. None of these extra degrees make a man any more of a mason, more important, or more powerful than a 3rd degree mason. The 33rd degree is in the Scottish rite of Freemasonry not the traditional lodge where one is made a mason.

What is 33 degree freemasons?
Yes However, the highest degree in Freemasonry is considered to be the Third, or Master Mason degree. However, there are some additional "higher" degrees that are conferred by "appendant" or "concordant" Masonic organizations. Understand that these degrees are not more important than the third degree, although some of them use numbers that are higher. These degrees can be thought of like continuing education following a University PhD degree, they aren't really any "higher" but are additional. One Masonic group that gives these additional degrees is the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite (or simply, the Scottish Rite), which may be the most visible concordant body of Freemasonry. It is called a "concordant body" because some of its degrees are based on, and continue the story told in the first three primary Masonic degrees. The highest degree in the Scottish Rite is the 33rd, although that is an "honorary degree" and awarded only by invitation to those "elected" to it by their local Scottish Rite fellows. The vast majority of Scottish Rite Masons receive additional degrees up to the 32nd. Although some 33rd degree members are part of a "Supreme Council," they have administrative authority over only the members in their Scottish Rite jurisdiction (such as the Northern or Southern Jurisdictions of the United States) and have no authority over any other Masons or Masonic bodies. In short, 33rd degree Masons are the leaders of the Scottish Rite in their region, but they do not rule Freemasonry as is sometimes claimed by a few non-masons. Other concordant or appendant Masonic bodies also award degrees, but most do not number them. The York Rite, for instance, culminates in the Order of the Temple, or Knight Templar. No currently recognized (that is, sanctioned by United Grand Lodge of England and other "regular" Masons) degrees are numbered higher than those of the Scottish Rite.
