The masonic conception of God is that of a 'Grand Architect'. An architect works with pre-existing matter to build and is thus, not a creator. So the masons, as well as the majority of western esoteric schools of thought, view God as a platonic demiurge. They associate this architect with the planet Saturn, the planet said to occupy the highest level of heaven known as the 'seventh heaven' in many occult cosmologies. In-fact, the freemasonic square and compass symbol is fashioned after the Babylonian seal of Saturn.

When we look at the Genesis creation account through this lens, the serpent, or Lucifer, is seen as the hero who liberates man by providing him with knowledge of the true reality that is being hidden from him. So in a very real sense, freemasonry is a satanic philosophy.

Unfortunately many have fallen for this deception. This conception of God is simply a weak attempt at justifying a rejection of the morals presented by God for man to follow.
