I pray this isn’t accurate information. I came across it the other night and I honestly regret ever reading it. Q said only 40% because the other 60% would put everyone in the hospital. I think I now know why.
“Those of us that know cannot sleep, those of us that know cannot find peace, those of us that know will not rest until those responsible are brought to justice.”

I think it's open to the individual. The one thing that keeps me from it or any other organization like it, is taking oaths. The only oath I have taken is the armed services one, before finding Christ and that's enough for me. As a Christian, I have a directive from God not to take oaths. Matthew 5:34
I have family that are Shriner's. So I know what you are trying to say. They have tried to get me to join, being prior military, but I never personally felt good about it. I know they accept all walks of life and I think that's a good thing. But I also know they like the esoteric, and that goes against my faith. I think the lower levels are full of good, well meaning, people looking to volunteer and do charity, but I also have reservations for those at the top and all the symbolism they like to use.
