Freemasonry prohibits religious and political discussions in lodge to maintain harmony and focus on what unites rather than divides. This rule stems from the charge given during initiation, emphasizing obedience as an excellence of character.
By stripping away external identities, Freemasonry creates a sacred space where all meet as equals. While amicable discussions on religion and politics can be beneficial elsewhere, introducing them in lodge risks creating divisions among brethren.
Lodge meetings are meant to be a refuge from worldly concerns, allowing members to focus on self-improvement and brotherly love without the distractions of contentious topics.
