I would just work with him without telling him you are a member, then once you have is respect, then say something.... or dont. Generally, if people are irrationally fixated on Masons being bad, they are often not going to change their views which become axioms, just like we have the (informed rather than misinformed) axiom that Freemasonry is good.

There is one thing that you can do in this situation that tends to put this to rest with sane people or at least reframe it so that the insane person knows how his behavior is being taken.
  1. Address his jabs directly.
  2. Don't explain that he wrong.
  3. Don't explain yourself.
  4. Don't get into discussing his issues.
  5. Simply share that:
    1. his message of disrespect that he
    2. communicates toward you about something you deeply love
    3. is gratefully received and gracefully accepted and
    4. that there is no need to continue sharing that disrespect;
    5. it only serves as a reminder of his disrespectful nature toward what you love.
  6. Thank him for letting you know.
  7. Let him know that you are following your Lord the best way you know how.
  8. Let him know too that you won't demand but that you'd appreciate his future respect into the future, just as he would expect from you.
  9. Ask that he no longer communicate directly or indirectly any of his dissatisfaction of your personal choice.
The operative phrase being "sane people".
