I see that Masonic buildings are called Temples. Does that mean that Masons worship there?
No. "Webster's New Twentieth Century Dictionary provides a definition
for the word 'temple' which is as good an explanation as any: 'a
building, usually of imposing size, serving the public or an
organization in some special way; as, a temple of art, a Masonic
temple'". (Dr. Jim Tresner. 33rd degree)
