Freemasonry is not a single religious group, nor dictates the religion of its followers. It simply states you must believe in a supreme being. The nature of the Supreme Being is not usually defined on denominational lines, to support the inclusive nature of the organization (in Sweden, however, members must be professed Christians). However some Grand Lodges expect their members to endorse certain general statements about the Supreme Being, such as that the Supreme Being favours good and abhors evil.

However, it is usually up to the prospective member to conclude whether, in good conscience, he can declare that he has passed the religious test. People's thinking process being what it is, a Satanist might concievably twist things to believe that he had done so. It would not ever be known to the fellow Masons, and it is highly unlikely a Satanist would join given the nature of the Freemason society (charity, peace and goodwill are a major focus), but still possible. The man would not only have to deceive his brother Masons as to his beliefs, but would also have to have a reputation for goodness before joining.

To add to this, The main goals of Masons is to make better men and to help out their community. Masons who are Shriners run the Shriners Hospital which is one of the best burn centers in the world. Children are treated for free! Other lodges deal with other issues. It's like adult Boy Scouts. If this kind of kindness and charity (the kind of behaviour Jesus promoted so strongly) is what Satanism is all about, perhaps we have misjudged Satanism.

Absolutely not. The Masons, like any club or group that has its meetings, rituals and other procedures private and not open to the public, are a favorite target of wack-biscuits who have nothing better to do with their lives than to create conspiracy theories where none exist.

The FreeMasons are also known by another name that many don't even realize - The Shriners. As a group, they are one of the biggest charities on the planet, freely giving huge amounts of donations especially for their hospitals who care for children with critical care needs and few or no resources to pay for them. My own cousin, whose son was born with his feet backward and spina bifida, has had everything paid for since he was born by the Shriners. My father-in-law is a long-time Mason, and I myself have been asked to join. Someday when I have the time I feel that I can commit to it I will join, but anyone who says or charges that the Masons are satanic or hold any satanic rituals are full of it. Never will you find a more God-fearing, giving group of individuals whose sole purpose is to help people.

No. Freemasons are not satonists, nor satanists for that matter.
