Are you taking a conservative stance in saying Pantheism and Freemasonry are not intrinsically related?
The relationship between Pantheism and Freemasonry is indeed complex and can be interpreted in various ways. Critics argue that Freemasonry incorporates elements of Pantheism, suggesting that its rituals and teachings may promote a form of worship that recognizes God and Nature as united. For instance, the use of geometric symbols and the emphasis on the unity of all things can reflect Pantheistic principles.
However, the official stance of Freemasonry does not endorse Pantheism as an intrinsic part of its teachings. Freemasonry is described as a fraternal organization that promotes moral and philosophical teachings without requiring members to subscribe to any specific theological or philosophical doctrine, including Pantheism. Albert Pike, in his work, emphasizes that Masonry finds its truths in all religions and does not confine itself to any one creed, thus maintaining a universal approach to spirituality and morality.
