Most occult organizations, service clubs and many small religious
organizations can loosely be called "children of freemasonry".  Democracy
and Representative government in the last few centuries can be called
cousins of freemasonry -- since the old guild charters that were the
operative precursors of Masonry made more substantial contributions to those
things than the Magna Carta.  Although most of these clubs, societies &c
only owe their structure and inspiration to freemasonry, the G.'.D.'.
was formed by Masons out of SRIA, a group that only accepted Freemasons
as members.
