I noticed that too, Phtha! I don't necessarily object to secret societies...but I do object to Satanic rituals (especially those which involve human sacrifice)...and to any intrigue or plotting which involves corruption and violence. If people wish to meet secretly...and think deeply about religion, philosophy, politics, world events, future events, etc...this could even be a good thing...especially if they were genuinely concerned about everyone. Unfortunately...from what I've learned...a lot of these secret societies seem to be quite evil and diabolical...especially at the top. They shouldn't kiss Satan's @$$. No one should bow down and worship anyone. Period.
Namaste
