why is the Master of a lodge called Worshipful
The title of Worshipful applied to the Master of a lodge is an archaic term of respect rather than a form of religious adoration. Originally, the word meant to accord honour or reverence to someone worthy of respect. This older sense appears in early English texts, such as Wycliffe's translation of the Bible and the traditional marriage service of the Book of Common Prayer, as well as in civil titles for English municipal and judicial officers such as mayors and justices of the peace.
