Only you can determine the answer to that question. There is
resources that might help you understand what Freemasonry is and from these you
might be better enabled to answer this.
This document, found on the Grand Lodge of Canada in the
Province of Ontario website, answers some basic questions and provides a brief
overview of Freemasonry. It suggests that you talk with a Freemason you may
know, feel free to do so. If you do not know a Freemason, you might desire to
use the contact form found here on this website or contact Grand Lodge, and
you will be contacted. It is important to note that you will not be ‘pressured’ to make application, your
questions will be answered to the best ability of the Man you speak with. He
will also endeavour to get you an answer he may not be able to provide.
Once you have your questions answered – it will remain your
decision.
The document, Freemasonry...
is it for ME? is found here http://www.grandlodge.on.ca/Communications/2006_LRP_brochure2.pdf |

The world’s oldest and largest fraternal organization. Today, there are more than four million Masons worldwide, and some two million in North America. They come from every walk of life, from many religions and many diverse ideologies. All believe in the existence of a Supreme Being and meet as friends and brothers, in peace and harmony. This is one of the great fascinations of Masonry and one of its great strengths.
Dedicated to the Brotherhood of Man, Freemasonry's singular purpose is to make good men better. Not better than someone else, but better within themselves. Masonry teaches that each person has an obligation to make a difference for good.
Freemasonry is kindness in the home, honesty in business, courtesy in society, fairness in work, concern for the unfortunate and respect for one another.
Freemasonry is the oldest and largest world wide fraternity dedicated to the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of a Supreme Being. Although of a religious nature, Freemasonry is not a religion. It urges its members, however, to be faithful and devoted to their own religious beliefs.
The organization of Freemasonry is based on a system of Grand Lodges, each sovereign within its own territory. There is no central authority governing all Grand Lodges. However, to be acknowledged by others, acceptable traditions, standards and practices must be maintained.
In our Province the governing body is called the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Canada in the Province of Ontario. It is under the leadership of the Grand Master. He presides over 53,000 Masons who belong to one or more of the 587 lodges in our jurisdiction. Each of these lodges is under the direction of a Worshipful Master.
