how do writers view the supreme being in craft masonry
Belief in the Supreme Being, titled in the lodge as the Great Architect or Sovereign Grand Architect of the Universe, is established as a primary Landmark and the fundamental prerequisite for membership.

The Lodge of Promulgation was warranted on 26th October 1809 by the Moderns Grand Lodge to ascertain and promulgate the ancient landmarks of Craft Masonry, reverting to practices used prior to 1739 and paving the way for the Union of 1813.

what is the craft position on religion according to the 1723 constitutions
The First Charge of the 1723 Constitutions, titled "Concerning God and Religion," replaced the specifically Christian obligations of older manuscript charges with a requirement to observe the moral law. Instead of adhering to particular denominational tenets, members are charged only to hold "that Religion in which all Men agree," defined as being good, true, honourable, and honest, while leaving specific religious opinions to each brother. This framework was established as a center of union to reconcile men who would otherwise remain at a perpetual distance.

What are the ancient landmarks of the order?
The ancient landmarks are the immemorial usages and fundamental principles of the Craft that define its fixed identity and cannot be altered or repealed by any Masonic authority. In Craft jurisprudence, any change that destroys a constituent element of that identity is treated as an illicit innovation, whereas customs outside these essentials may be amended over time.

This practice rests on the principle that individual lodges are local branches of a single universal family, in which every Mason in good standing possesses a fundamental right of visitation.
