- hpoe 5y agoThey already did back in the 1800s the French formed the Grand Orient and removed the requirement of a belief in a higher power. The Grand Orient of France is not recognized by other branches of Masonry necessarily but it is already there.
- vidanay 5y agoThere are no rules that your higher power is an anthropomorphic, omnipotent, omniscient, sky chair god. The definition is entirely up to the candidate and there is no quiz or qualifications.
- TulliusCicero 5y agoI think most agnostics and atheists don't believe in a higher power just in general. And if you stretch it to, "the nothingness you believe in is your supreme being!" the definition is so loose as to be meaningless. A word with no end is a deed with no boundaries. What a thing isn't means as much it its identity as the things is definitely is.
