But surely these 'lower order' ones are used to scout for 'talent' and people who might qualify for 'promotion' for being good little secret keepers?
You do know that not all masons and secret organizations are evil. Right?
I would say that depends, not gross evil but they are opposition to Christian belief and faith. In that sense they are evil and of the devil, at least for many Christians.
In Scotland membership in one of these societies is grounds for excommunication in the more conservative Christian churches such as the one in Tong on the Isle of Lewis (I've been there twice and have many friends in this church) where Trump's mom is from.
Just adding to the convo, not trying to be a wise guy or argumentative.
Edit: Lord McKay was disciplined by these conservative churches for attending a funeral because they had mass.

Sure. Sometimes. But not always.

So the Christian belief is that, if you're not a Christian or don't believe in Christianity you are evil? Or if you are in a secret organization you are evil because it's not Christianity?

It's the internet man. Say what you want.
York Rite Masonry requires a belief in Christ's divinity and to be a Christian to join.

That's incorrect, it's not doctrinally or theologically correct, unless you follow some washed out heretical 'leaders.'

Actually, pretty much, yes.

This post is about a secret Christian society. Just because other Christians say it's bad does not make it so. I bet the Christians in the mentioned secret society would say otherwise.

Hypocrites and heretics.
The ONLY difference between religion and a cult is whether or not the target of worship is alive or dead.
