"Through Freemasonry, however, I have had opportunity to break bread with good men of other than my own Christian faith.  Freemasonry does not promote any one religious creed.  All Masons believe in the Deity without reservation.  However, Masonry makes no demands as to how a member thinks of the Great Architect of the Universe.  Freemasonry is, for all its members, a supplement to good living which has enhanced the lives of millions who have entered its doors.  Though it is not a religion, as such, it supplements faith in God the Creator.  It is supporting of morality and virtue.

Freemasonry has no dogma or theology.  It offers no sacraments.  It teaches that it is important for every man to have a religion of his own choice and to be faithful to it in thought and action.  As a result, men of different religions meet in fellowship and brotherhood under the fatherhood of God.  I think that a good Mason is made even more faithful to the tenets of his faith by his membership in the Lodge."

- The Reverend Dr. Norman Vincent Peale
