In Freemasonry the god of the secret societies is covertly substituted for the One True God. This false god is identified in the Masonic lodges as "the Great Architect."John 14:11, 13 tells Christians to call upon God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. Yet in Masonic lodges prayers are always directed to the generic 'Great Architect of the Universe'. Masons deliberately omit the holy name of Jesus Christ from their prayers.

Masons wrongly believe that their own good works - without the need for God's grace only gotten through faith in Jesus Christ - will allow them to enter into the 'celestial lodge above'. The goal of Masonry has always been to change America from a Christian nation into a secular society.
