Freemasonry's stance on dogma varies among its commentators and across its bodies. In the Craft, Waite identifies two immutable dogmas: belief in God and the immortality of the soul, noting that denying them debars a candidate from initiation 1. Mackey, however, holds that the fraternity possesses no theology, espouses no specific religious doctrines, and refrains from expounding a doctrine of God in its rituals or Grand Lodge declarations 2. Under this view, the Craft demands only a basic belief in a Supreme Being and the presence of a Volume of the Sacred Law on the altar, leaving personal theological convictions entirely to the individual 2.
In the Scottish Rite, Pike contends that finite human intelligence cannot grasp the infinite nature of the Deity, asserting that the Divine Nature is not a theme on which man is entitled to dogmatize 3.
The supplied library sources do not address whether the rejection of dogma is itself a dogma.
