I know Freemasonry is open to all those who believe in a supreme being. Additionally, Freemasonry teaches, among many other things, tolerance and logic. How can someone call themselves a Mason in and outside of the lodge, but still vehemently carry a prejudice against other religions that are not their own?
This comes on the heels of the recent anniversary of 9/11 and I see brothers posting derogatory remarks about Islam on their social media accounts.
How does one handle the prejudice jabs made in the lodge? There isn't supposed to be any discussion of politics or religion in the lodge so when someone makes continuously racist/prejudice remarks, it irks me so much because engaging them in a reasonable and polite discussion is inappropriate.
