George Mason, a Founding Father known for his strong advocacy of individual rights, faced opposition from various factions. His primary enemies included Federalists, who supported a strong central government and opposed the inclusion of a Bill of Rights, which Mason championed. Additionally, he had conflicts with fellow Virginians like James Madison, who initially disagreed with his calls for explicit protections of individual liberties. Mason's staunch defense of civil liberties often put him at odds with those prioritizing national unity over individual rights.

Are Christians and masons enemies?

Catholics I know have pointed to the fact that Masons are a secret society and shied away from them. Baptists and Protestants have joined the Masons, even preachers I have known. In the late seventies, Moody Monthly listed Masons and Eastern Star as cults. While Masons read the Bible, it seems to be more of a ritual or a "work." Some of the secret practices of freemasonery seem to be rather silly to Christians or even "dark" practices that do not honor God. There is evidence that Joseph Smith was a mason and that Mormon practices include those very similar to freemasonery. If nothing else, the Mormon Temple practices are secret, like those of the secret society called The Masons.
