it's very real, and you have been led to believe there is no spirituality through many means i can't be bothered to go into. just know it's very true and they take it very seriously, and it has clearly served them well. you cannot be a mason if you do not believe in a higher power, to them you are "a fool or a madman" and they don't want to associate with you. even darwin was a freemason and thus believed in a higher power
