Some religious leaders consider Freemasonry to be either anti-Christian or incompatible with Christianity. A number of conspiracy theorists claim that Freemasons worship everything from Lucifer or Satan to Baal, largely due to the fact that many 19th-century Masons were occultists. According to Jack Harris, former "Worshipful Master" of a Masonic lodge, "Freemasonry considers Jesus Christ to be no greater than Moses, Elijah, Mohammed, or Buddha."
In some versions of his stage persona which used themes from his Manifest Sons of God doctrine, William Branham also considered Jesus to be nothing more than a prophet. In those versions of the stage persona, Branham misinterpreted John 5:19 to claim that Jesus Christ was powerless unless having first seen a "vision" and then parroting what was seen in that vision.
Whether intentional or not, there are several Masonic symbols, themes, and numbers used in William Branham's cult. When the Billie Branham Pentecostal Tabernacle transitioned to "Branham Tabernacle" and a sign was hung above the door with that name, a pentagram was displayed on the front of the building. The star was tilted slightly right as is done in the Masonic Order of the Eastern Star. William Branham's sister Delores was a member of the Eastern Star, and the pentagram suggests that Branham himself was involved.
William Branham never openly admitted to being a Freemason, but many of his mentors, partners, and leaders of his sect did. Masonic symbolism exists throughout Branham's extra-biblical doctrines and religious propaganda, especially in Branham's use of the pyramids as religious symbolism. The Great Pyramid of Giza, with four equilateral triangles, carries great significance in Freemasonry. According to Branham, the Great Pyramid was a “Bible”, written to replace what he claimed to be the first Bible: the Zodiac.
