Just out of interest are you aware of the schism between Grand Lodge masonry and Grand Orient masonry?
This is where the confusion comes in with people who think Masons believe in a creator while others do not.
Grand Orient/French freemasonry was the side that started the athiest secular humanist approach.
"Schism with the United Grand Lodge of England
In 1877, at the instigation of the Protestant pastor
Frédéric Desmons, it allowed those who had no belief in a
supreme being to be admitted.
[24] The
United Grand Lodge of England (UGLE) and related Lodges regarded belief in the Supreme Being as a
Masonic Landmark.
It was this decision that has been the root cause of the schism between the Grand Orient (and those lodges that followed it), and the rest of Freemasonry. It is a schism in Freemasonry which continues to this day. It is argued that the definition is ambiguous, that Anderson's Landmarks are his own collection and interpretation of the historical landmarks, and that changes in both interpretation and practice have occurred before and since.
The decision was not universally approved in France. By 1894 many lodges had split off in protest and formed the
Grande Loge de France (GLdF)
[25] In 1910, a few members of the Grand Orient, wishing to re-introduce the concept of God the Great Architect, brought back the
Rectified Scottish Rite from Switzerland. In the resulting friction with the national body, they amalgamated with the English lodge of Bordeaux to produce, in 1913, a third grand lodge,
la Grande Loge Nationale Indépendante et Régulière pour la France et les Colonies françaises, now the
Grande Loge Nationale Française.

While Grand Lodge/British/Anglo-Saxon controlled masonry demands a belief in a supreme being in which albert pike in morals and dogma refers to as Lucifer, Grand Orient French/Templar masonry believes that man once conquering nature will elevate to the position of Godhood.
Albert pike in his book basically says that all masons below 30 degrees are intentionally mislead as to who the "grand architect is" only once a mason hits the 30th degree is he told the truth as to who he has been worshipping in the lodge. Its not Allah, Jesus or Budda, its Lucifer.
