Once again he takes a post that says, "This isn't religious because of this..." and attempts to take the portion he doesn't want to read, discount it, and put forward a deliberate misconception based in truly dogmatic belief in whatever anti-mason site he comes on today.
No, it is not religious, it is traditional ceremonies like any other fraternity might use to induct new members. That there is an Obligation and an Oath and an expectation in a belief in Deity does not make it religious, it is just another requirement. Such as the person must be physically qualified (able to kneel, rise, use the right hand to take handshakes, etc.) Does that make it a sport? Rubbish.
