George Washington was a Mason. He took the oath of office for the Presidency on a Masonic Bible. Actually kissed its pages when he said "I swear" to the oath. Was George Washington a bad guy? The Founders' opinion was that he was the best of them.
Some founding fathers were masons and some were not others were Christians or Reformists or New Age Religions, if they had seen what Masons would become, the Eastern Star crap that women do, the Blackmail theft and pedo crap, the Shriners and their prayer to mahomet, the founding fathers would turn in their graves. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/3572664/21814207 Why was the Anti-Mason movement born?
Protestant Christians also had the Salem Witch Trials, too. That superstitious fear is what also drives the anti-Mason movement. Christianity fell away from the teachings of Jesus in the second century and transformed into the totally corrupt Roman Catholic faith by the fourth century. The Protestant reformers could not restore what was lost. In colonial America, Roger Williams (founder of the first Baptist church in America) wrote:
"There is no regularly-constituted church on earth, nor any person authorized to administer any Church ordinance: nor can there be, until new apostles are sent by the great Head of the Church, for whose coming I am seeking." (Bryant, 1872) Williams also said, "The apostasy... hath so far corrupted all, that there can be no recovery out of that apostasy until Christ shall send forth new apostles to plant churches anew." (Anderson, 1966)
Dr. William Smith declared:
"In a work prepared by seventy-three noted theologians and Bible students, we read: "...we must not expect to see the Church of Holy Scripture actually existing in its perfection on the earth. It is not to be found, thus perfect, either in the collected fragments of Christendom, or still less in any one of these fragments. . . " (Smith, 1896)
Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, a prominent American Baptist clergyman and author, described the decadent condition of the Christian churches of the first half of the twentieth century in these words:
"A religious reformation is afoot, and at heart it is the endeavor to recover for our modern life the religion of Jesus as against the vast, intricate, largely inadequate and often positively false religion about Jesus. Christianity today has largely left the religion which he preached, taught and lived, and has substituted another kind of religion altogether. If Jesus should come back to now, hear the mythologies built up around hint, see the creedalism, denominationalism, sacramentalism, carried on in his name, he would certainly say, 'If this is Christianity, I am not a Christian'" (Associated Press, 1925)
Modern Christians are poorly equipped to judge the Freemasons.
