We hide our rituals, but not very successfully; if you really want an idea of what they are, there are books available in any bookstore or library that give a fair accounting of Masonic ritual.
Why do we try to conceal these rituals? Mostly because of the sense of history and belonging that they give us. We are members of a fraternity that has its roots in the middle ages (some say long before then) and the archaic English and meter of the rituals resonate with many of us; especially those of us brought up on the King James Version and Shakespeare. The language has power.
Is some of this old fashioned and even silly by today's standard? Perhaps, it is.
But it is no more mysterious, old fashioned or silly than any of the rituals of other fine fraternal organizations, such as the Knights of Columbus, or the Elks, Moose, Eagles or Lions. Like them, we are a group of folks that enjoy each other's companies and try to support our communities with charitable works. We are not Lizard men, misogynists, cannibals, occultists, devil worshipers or sooper-seekrit world dictators*.
*Although I am open to this last concept. I'm guessing that being a sooper-seekrit world dictator is more financially remunerative than my current gig. I'll even bet they get to drive fancier vehicles.
