Some churches and other religious groups have sometimes told their members that it is wrong to be a Freemason (of which Master Mason is one degree). Most often these views are based on misinformation or misunderstandings of what Masons stand for, or what their symbolism means. A religious group which opposes socializing with members of other religions or tolerating their presence will find itself opposed to Freemasonry's adherence to religious tolerance. This is probably the only legitimate reason for a church to oppose Freemasonry for its members.

Freemasonry is a purely voluntary organization (that's what the "free" part means) and any member who feels that he disagrees with the purposes, teachings or actions of the organization is free to quit at any time. Very very few members quit for this reason.

How do you know what degree you are in York Rite Freemasonry if you are aMark Master mason in Mark and a Companion in Chapter?

Mark Master Mason (MMM) is directly after the Master Mason degree; then is Past Master (PM), Most Excellent Master (MEM), then the Royal Arch Degree at which time the Brother becomes a Companion. The Chapter Degrees are not numbers like in the Scottish Rite or Blue Lodge. In Britain, the order of these degrees is quite different. A Master Mason may become a RAM in England; a Fellowcraft in Scotland generally becomes a MMM before becoming a Master Mason. The PM (Virtual Past Master) degree is unheard of outside of the United States or those places who derive their ritual directly from there.
