Shriners' hospitals are not religious hospitals and have anti-discrimination policies. They are hospitals that are funded by the fraternal organization of Shriners through their various fundraisers and through contributions of members of the many Shrine Temples, along with their other charitable activities.

Shriners are all Masons and, as such, have declared a belief in a Supreme Being in their initiation to that organization, but no specific religious affiliations are formalized. Christianity is a common shared religion among the US Masons, however, there is no specific official religion or denomination association, and some Masons are Hindu or Islamic. A Volume of the Sacred Law is displayed in Masonic Temples. This may be a Christian Bible or, in Lodges with a membership of mixed religions, there may be more than one sacred text displayed.
