first of all you assume that many christians reject the freemasons, and then as now, this is most certainly not the case.
You hit the nail on the head. Christians DONT reject the freemasons. True Christians SHOULD reject any type of freemasonry.
This is why I believe all religions are a diversion from the real truth.

Let me try another track - why would it be a bad thing if he were found to be a Mason?
If you really had done the research ad nauseum you wouldn't ask this question. Freemasonry, Knights Templar (involvement in the middle ages), Illuminati are all part of a large umbrella throughout history that have been affecting the outcome of events and are directing them to a certain outcome in the near future. Simply put, demonic influences to create a NWO with a totalitarian govt. Kinda sounds like a certain bible prophecy that we're all familiar with doesn't it?
There are a number of modern organizations with different names that are pretty much the same people at the upper tiers of authority (whom are informally referred to as Illuminati):
Bilderberg Group, Skull and Bones, The Bohemian Club, Freemasons.
Only the top level members of these organizations have any idea what's really going on. One hint: they're not thinking about your welfare.
