Nah. They wielded political power in ways entirely inconsistent with their stated purpose. But they were never Babylonian. That shit started after they took a loan from the Rothschilds in the 1830s.
The All-Seeing Eye, aka The Eye of Providence, has been a Christian motif from long before the Freemasons started using it after it was used on the obverse of the US Seal.

That event had a magnitude of 5.8.

This is the equivalent energy of a nuke bomb in the upper hundreds of kilotons range (or many smaller nukes detonated every 17 seconds).

I don't see anyway this was anything but natural. It was certainly not a transmission from a ELF submarine comm system, or HAARP, or anything similar.
The Eye of Providence either references the Trinity (common explanation) or the triangular portal to heaven described in the book of Enoch (my suspicion). The Eye of Horus is not commonly depicted in a triangle. It's also drawn differently. And I've never seen any hint of the triangle/eye combo being the top of a pyramid before it was used on the US seal in that way.
There are a lot of eyes in the world. I myself have two of them. They are going to find their way into symbols of unrelated cultures. You can't assume every symbol with an eye is connected, not even every spiritual or religious symbol..
And when did the combination of an eye, triangle, and pyramid– with whatever interpretation– appear before the US seal obverse that we now have on the back of the $1 bill?
Don't confuse 'religion' with 'faith'. Religion is a set of practices. Faith is a belief system. External versus internal.
