Over at my Solomon Key website, I’ve reproduced an essay from Issue 3 of Sub Rosa Magazine on the ‘Masonic Foundations of America‘. The essay also looks at the strong influence of Deism on individuals such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Dan Brown looks set to include this ‘hidden history’ of the U.S. in his sequel to The Da Vinci Code, which would no doubt make for a hot topic considering the influence on politics in recent times of Fundamentalist Christian groups.
