 Knights Templar and Christianity 

The article claims that ""the Knights Templar require members to be of the Christian faith"". This is simply not true. I am a Master Mason, Royal Arch Mason, Cryptic Mason, Knight Templar, 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Mason, and Shriner. I am also Buddhist, and this fact is well-known among others in these organizations. There are a series of questions that are asked of each Knight Templar candidate, some of which ask about the candidate's faith, however one does not need to be a Christian to be accepted into the Knights Templar."
