No, Freemasonry is not a secret society. We clearly communicate our presence (this website is just one example of that!), buildings are clearly marked, and many cars feature the familiar Masonic logo. Freemasonry does, however, have a few key secrets that are used for two primary reasons:

• To prove to each other that we are Masons;
• As a bond between members – showing that we can honorably keep our secrets.
