Anyone know anything about the Freemasons?

Besides the Illumati conspiracy theories a la John Todd, do you know anything about this secretive organization? They are both open and secretive. They have street addresses, but you don't really know who's with them, and what they do behind closed doors. They have charities, scholarship funds and more. They are clearly influential, and have been around for centuries, rubbing shoulders with royal families and more. They have web sites up and all that, but say very little about what they really believe, what rituals or cermonies they perform, what holidays they observe. As far as I can tell, they aren't Christians, yet they have temples, bibles, and more. Their symbols inlcude anything from the Star of David, to other paganistic symbold, to God knows what.
