Yes, Buddhists can join Freemasonry. Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that welcomes individuals from various religious and spiritual backgrounds, as long as they profess a belief in a higher power. As long as the individual adheres to the principles and values espoused by Freemasonry, they can become a member.
What is a freemason exactly a cult and what exactly do they believe in?
They have to believe in a god before they join (although it isn't important which god exactly since all kinds of religions are accepted) who created mankind as "raw unfinished blocks of stones". Their aim is to work on themselves for a life span in order to get "smoother" stones. By doing good things to others and studying they strive to improve themselves. However it is understood that no human being can ever be perfect and we always leave this life with a job unfinished. No one is forced to do things which he won't be able to do or thinks are wrong. And as every human is imperfect, the members offer help to each others, they link their hands worldwide to help each others like brothers.
Masonry is not only not a cult, but is the opposite of a cult: it encourages people to meet with and understand those who have different views and to tolerate differences. Membership is totally voluntary and free from compulsion--Masons are not even allowed to encourage non-Masons to join.

Was Mustafa Kemal Ataturk a Freemason?
The question about whether Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was a Freemason is hotly debated. There are strong views both for and against this proposition. Both sides of the debate have been represented.
He Was a Freemason
Kemal Ataturk was initiated into Lodge Veritas, under a charter from the French Grand Orient, in 1907. So, yes, he was a Freemason.
According to Andrew Mango, in his biography: "Ataturk: The Biography of the founder of Modern Turkey", Ataturk was a Freemason, although Mango was uncertain as to whether or not Ataturk was initiated in Thessaloniki (where he was born and grew up) or in Istanbul (where much of his early political life happened).
Currently, Turkish Islamists who wish to oppose Ataturk's reforms have taken two avenues to dismiss Ataturk's secularization of the country. One is to play up Ataturk's Freemasonry and to also insist that he is a Jew and bent on creating some global conspiracy. However, since Ataturk is so beloved in Turkey, directly attacking him does not go over well. It is far better to deny Ataturk's Masonic heritage and pretend that he persecuted the Masons, in line with general Turkish feelings on the matter. Harun Yahya, among others, have promoted the latter approach.
He Was Not a Freemason
No, there is no credible evidence of it. Some sources, like Andrew Mango's biography of Ataturk, say there is a lot we don't know about his life, but most of the information that claims he was a Freemason relies on subjective opinions, rather than historical facts.
As additional information is that he closed Masonry Charity at 1925 and again all in Turkey at 1935, never again opened until he was died.
Are Shiners part of the Masons?
The Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, known in short as "The Shriners", are an appendant body to Freemasonry. In order to be admitted into The Shrine, one must be a Master Mason in good standing within a regular Masonic Lodge.
Was Casimir Pulaski a freemason?
The only way to tell if someone is or is not a Freemason is if there is a public record of their membership. Some members keep their membership quiet and their lodges respect their confidentiality. That is their right. But in most cases Masons are proud of their membership and are quite prepared to tell you which Lodge they joined and when.
It is impossible to know anything about anyone's Masonic membership by looking for secret hand signs in a person's public appearances, or watching their handshakes.

ONLY REAL RULES TO BECOME A FREEMASON
- Be a man, [NOTE: there are other branches of Masonry that accept both men and women, or women only];
- Be at least 21 years old. [NOTE: Some lodges and some jurisdictions allow 18- or 19-year-olds, or may make exceptions for those who are sons of Masons, or for university students.]
- Have belief in a Supreme Being -- of any faith. No particular religion or faith is required or excluded. All are welcome.
Freemasonry admits men regardless of race, creed, color, faith or nationality and no where in this list of rules does it mention race as a component in becoming a freemason.
Also, as you can see in this picture of Masonic Members of the Lodge Morality, (Ghana), 1930, there are both black and white men noted.
