If one was to go back in time in this countries history to the very beginning one would see immense contributions brought forth by Free Masons. They came to this country and established a government and constitution which we have today that separates church from state. A justice system that judges through and with peers. Without this separation our country would probably be very similar to Islam where women are held down and the church would govern as a communist state, without voting of the people and no say in most of life's endeavors. A system that would take away free will in our belief structure and punish the non believers, probably at the point of death. A country of ruthless priests doing as they wish to who ever they wished it upon. They would have all schools ran by the church with no public schools, as we know them today. In other words, we would have been held hostage by a belief system. For that is what the church is. An all powerful defeater of life, liberty and justice for all. A system that tells people what the true is as if it was the Truth.
For the first and foremost teaching in the Masonic fraternity is morality, justice and good well toward others.
