Orthodoxe christenen zeggen. Vrijmetselaren doen niet aan dogma's, maar is dat ook niet een dogma? Wat vind jij?

Whether Freemasonry possesses dogmas depends on whether its core requirements are classified as philosophical dogmas or non-theological landmarks. Waite argues that despite official statements by the Grand Lodge of England declaring that Masonry holds no political or religious opinions, the institution retains "immutable dogmas"—specifically, belief in God and the immortality of the soul, both of which serve as absolute prerequisites for candidate admission 1.

In contrast, Mackey maintains that in the Craft, Freemasonry has no theology of its own and espouses no set of religious doctrines, as it is not a church 2. While the Craft requires a belief in God, a belief in a resurrection to a future life, and the presence of a Book of the Law on the altar as indispensable Landmarks, it refrains from offering any authoritative interpretation or theological exposition regarding the specific nature of God 2.

In the Scottish Rite, Pike forcefully critiques human dogmatism concerning the Divine Nature, asserting that finite human intelligence is fundamentally incapable of comprehending the Infinite 3. He contends that God is an object of faith rather than intellectual definition, arguing that human attempts to dogmatize, classify, and map God's attributes stem from a lack of intellectual humility and historically result in conflict and persecution 3.

As to whether the rejection of dogma is itself a dogma, the supplied sources do not explicitly address this philosophical paradox. The literature demonstrates that while the Fraternity rejects the enforcement of specific religious creeds and theological definitions, it simultaneously maintains its traditional Landmarks as fixed, unalterable principles necessary to preserve its identity 1232.
