"The masonic Religion should be, by all of us initiates of the higher degrees, maintained in the Purity of the Luciferian doctrine.… The true and pure philosophic religion is the belief in Lucifer, God of Light and God of Good, struggling for humanity against Adonay, the God of Darkness and Evil."
— Freemasonry

January 1, 1970

The 1894 anti-Masonic text La Femme et l'enfant dans la franc-maçonnerie universelle attributed this passage to Freemason Albert Pike's Morals and Dogma (1871). The publicly available text of that work contradicts it and writer Léo Taxil subsequently admitted fabricating it as part of a hoax against both Freemasonry and the Catholic Church.
