Of the people that I work with, not one of them has ever shown or commented that they have any belief in 'God'.
My late husband (not a Mason) was an atheist with a belief in a higher power !
Lol ... no idea why I wanted to saty that
My parent's friend didn't do Church or anything religious.

Salam Alaikum Brother,
I myself am a Freemason and a Muslim. As long as you believe in God and you are a man of good moral stature, you are an eligible petitioner to Freemasonry.
I hope this helps answer your question.

Re: Fremasonry
HiWhen I was working, for the Government, it was made perfectly clear to me that if I wished to advance beyond a certain level, it would be in my best interests to join.
"We need to know you are one of us" was the phrase used.
I never did join, I do not like secret societies and I certainly did not like getting the handshake from people to see if I was one of "them" when they thought they were going to get enforced against.
Not my scene at all.

He was a prominent member of AA for a few decades but always quick to point out that he was not a member of any organised religion.
Many people believe that AA has something to do with man-made religion.
It does not. Neither was he so arrogant as to think that he was 'all powerful' ... hence the belief in a higher power.
Hope that makes sense, although it may seem contradictory
