      Sounds like censorship.

      No it's not relevant, I have no problem with illuminati threads, but they belong in senseless banter.

      You have to say how it is irrelevant, what is your reasoning? Otherwise it is censorship.

      Well, Illuminati is something different. Nobody mentioned the Illuminati, except you. Someone mentioned a club, which the founding fathers belonged to, which is a fact. This is not a fictitious club, this is a club with a chapter in each town. Nobody mentioned conspiracy theories or any paranoid rambling.

      You are getting the Masonic Lodge confused with the Illuminati, which shows your lack of knowledge on the subject. And threatening to ban people seems to be an abuse of power.

      This.

      Masons are free to be any religion. The fact that a few of them were masons does not have anything to do with how the country was founded. There are atheist Freemasons and there are hard core christian Freemasons. So it is not relevant to a discussion of the religious beliefs of the founding fathers.

      Actually they don't let atheists in. You can be Muslim, Jew, Christian or whatever you want, as long as you belive in God.
