(Note: The term "Worshipful Master" has absolutely no religious connotations. It is simply an honorific. Because some of Freemasonry's roots derive from 18th century England, some old customs, titles, and ritual words and practices from that time and place remain. The present day Mayors of large English cities are still addressed as Worshipful Mayor.)"
