Does Freemasonry have a political affiliation?
No. Political discussions and activities are prohibited in the lodge. Masonic philosophy follows its own non-political course, which expresses values that may be interpreted as liberal or conservative or both.
As citizens, members of a lodge may be encouraged to educate themselves on the issues of the day and to exercise their right to vote, but that is likely to be the only acceptable reference to politics made in a lodge meeting.
In addition, Ohio Freemasons are prohibited by our rules from belonging to or promoting subversive organizations that advocate the overthrow of the government of the United States by force or other illegal means. Membership in such groups is a disqualification for membership, and it results in the expulsion of current members.
