Do Freemasons worship Lucifer?

Over the years, some people have claimed that Freemasons worship Lucifer, or Satan.  The truth of the matter is that the name Lucifer is not found in the rituals of the Blue Lodge, or the York Rite.  We do not believe that Lucifer is mentioned by name in the Scottish Rite degrees, either.  However, one of the "Sacred Words" in the17th Degree of the Scottish Rite is "Abaddon," the angel of  the bottomless pit, mentioned in Revelation 9:11. 

Worship does occur in Masonic Lodges.  One of the primary purposes of Freemasonry is worship.  That fact is clearly stated in the Declaration of Principles which is contained on pages 37-39 of the Indiana Monitor and Freemason's Guide.  (To examine the source materials, see footnotes.)  Masons worship a god which they call the Great Architect of the Univers The symbol they have chosen to represent their god is the All Seeing Eye, which the Egyptians used to represent their pagan god, Osiris.   Many Masons are well aware of the pagan connection.  It is clearly stated in a number of Masonic Monitors.  An example is found on page 116 of the Kentucky Monitor. 

Since Freemasonry teaches a false plan of salvation, Masons are not following in the teachings of Jesus Christ.  2 John 1:9 allows us to know that since they are not following in the teachings of Jesus, they do not have God.  Freemasonry is classic paganism.  1 Corinthians 10:20-21 allows us to know that the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, rather than God.   Although we can say with certainty that the god of Freemasonry is a demon, we do not know specifically which demon Masons worship in lodge.  We simply know that they refer to their demon as the Great Architect of the Universe, or GAOTU.  All demons are under the leadership of Satan.  Therefore, Freemasons cannot avoid worshiping Satan by proxy.  Very few of them realize the facts in this aspect of Masonic worship.  A great many Masons, even some who do not claim to be Christians, would leave the lodge immediately if the names of Satan, or Lucifer, were substituted for the GAOTU in Masonic prayers.  Satan would not allow that to occur, because the more effective lie is the one which is closer to the truth, without being true.   The reason that a name such as the GAOTU is chosen for the object of worship is discussed in The Men's Club, an essay on the Ex-Masons for Jesus website.

Do Satanists worship Lucifer?

Many people believe that Satanists worship Lucifer, however Satanists tell us that such is not always the case.  Satanist Anton LaVEY wrote The Satanic Bible and The Satanic Rituals.  On the front cover flap of The Satanic Rituals, LaVEY wrote:

Satanism is a vital philosophy which asks you to take your fate in your own hands--break the barriers that confine you--sweep aside all that is smothering you--realize your full innate power.   The most important commandment of Satanism is: Satanism demands study - not worship.

Satan does not need to receive worship to achieve his goals.  All he has to do is to keep a man from following Jesus.  Satan knows that anyone who does not follow in the teachings of Jesus does not have God. (2 John 9)
