I've been wondering if becoming a mason would be a good fit for me. I grew up in a family that was never anti-religion, but never attended church unless someone died. We all functionally believe in a god, but I've never known what holy text we followed. I more importantly, never had a religion placed upon me by my parents. they believe I have the right to decide for myself a religion. I still haven't "chosen" so to say. My Question is Would the lack of being a member of a religion but not lacking in faith and belief in a higher power be a disqualifying factor? Should I figure out what religion best aligns with me since I am seeking to join one before I petition?

Ah, Well that's good to hear. I'll probably end up filling out the more information page on my state's grand lodge website and figure out where to go from there once I've gotten myself into a new employ.

I have a couple questions about joining, on the inquiry form it asks about employment status. Will my financial status impact my chances of joining a lodge? Should I just wait until I'm more financially stable? I've been thinking about this for over a year now. I'm sure I'd like to join, since I now have control over my own schedule. As opposed to being at the whim of the Consumer Retail Management Structures and a Site Foreman. I left my last job a month ago to focus on building myself a profitable business that allows me the freedom to be someone other than the business. Should I wait, just fill-out the form, or message the one guy I know from the radio club and ask? Any advice is welcome, thanks!

Any lodge that is in it for the money isn't a lodge you want to join.
I don't think the one in my town is like that. Is this a common thing that happens?
