Opposition to Freemasonry
Anti-Masonry (alternatively called anti-Freemasonry) is "avowed opposition to Freemasonry",[1] which has led to multiple forms of religious discrimination, violent persecution, and suppression in some countries as well as in various organized religions (primarily Abrahamic religions).[2] However, there is no homogeneous anti-Masonic movement. Anti-Masonry consists of radically differing criticisms from frequently incompatible political institutions and organized religions that oppose each other, and are hostile to Freemasonry in some form.[2]
