Freemasons depend. They just have accept a higher being. So they could and are Jews, Christians, Muslims, etc.
As for the Illumanati, I'm pretty sure they don't exist.
As for Skulls and Bones, I'm not sure religion matters there.

My friend's a Freemason and he is a deist.
They just have to believe in a higher power, which is vague. They also have to be male.
A guy on Reddit wrote:
A friend mine is a mason and an atheist. What his justification for "believing in a higher power?" Bears. "Bears are a higher power, they could kill me, I wouldn't **** with them, and I believe in them" I was shocked.
IAMA 32 degree mason willing to say things I should not. AMAA. : IAmA
(That probably wouldn't be valid if revealed, but who knows. It allows internal justification to occur.)

Jesus in me
I believe deification of animals is akin to animism and a man made religion. However I don't believe in giving a lot of credit to deism. My grandfather was a Knights Templar but in his next life as my son he is an atheist. Maybe it is a generational slide?
My other grandfather and father belonged to Bektash Temple and wore a fez but I don't believe either expressed any Islamic beliefs but also did not confesss Christianity until late in life.

...but it's not saying bears are gods. It's saying bears have power over us (and if you disagree I doubt you've dealt with one), hence "higher power".

The Freemasons are a fraternity who's membership requires belief in a creator, so its members can come from many different faiths (christian, jewish, muslim, deist, baha'i, etc.)
A fictitious entity.
A silly university club that has nothing to do with religion.

Masons worship Mammon.

That wasn't what she was talking about.
As are all religions.
...despite it being the most logical of theological concepts.

To be a Mason, you don't even have to describe or explain what "higher Power" you believe in. You just have to submit to believing in one. Therefore, you could believe in the FSM, and still be a legitimate Mason.
And while the skull and bones has nothing to do with religion, for some reason I see them as being a bunch of pretentious Xtian conservatives. That's only my opinion of course.

Freemason belieive in ''the High Architecte of the Universe''
If you reach the level of 34th degree you can contact with this God but according to my research this God is the Satan see the video below taken in the first (maybe the last) time in the world
Freemason sacrifice a Goat and drink its blood in their temple.

Now, why does that strike me as probably not true?

I don't believe it, simple as that. Not everyone on the internet is honest, you have to use your own judgment.

People say similar things about Muslims, but it's easy to make up unsubstantiated, outlandish nonsense, isn't it?
Storm

Right. Like the whole thing about Muslims being instructed to lie about Islam to make it look better, especially to potential converts. Which, if I may point out, is a claim made by many folk who claim to be former Muslims. I think the word is taqiyya, but I don't speak Arabic, so don't quote me on that.
It's also a much more effective conspiracy theory, in that the nature of the claim makes it impossible for actual Muslims to refute beyond reasonable doubt. After all, if it were true, Muslims would be obligated to lie about it. Sort of a Catch-22 for them.

Maybe according to one small group who labels themselves as Freemasons.
The problem though is that Freemasonry really only goes to the 3rd degree. After that, there are other groups (such as the Scottish Rite) who go up further. But not all groups that claim they are Freemasons are actually associated with the central group. In fact, the majority of the stuff one reads on the internet has nothing to do with this central group, or groups associated with them, but with groups either made up whole cloth, or fringe groups that only used the name Freemason as they have no idea what it means.
The Satanic forms of Freemasonry really have nothing to do with actual Freemasons. They have to do with other groups that have simply taken on the title Freemason for whatever reason. But again, they are not associated with the actual group of Freemasons.

Could you provide some evidence that "Satanic forms of Freemasonry" actually exist?

The Bavarian Illuminati which is the only real group that existed in history was a mostly Catholic led organization. It was based on the Freemasons and was around during the Enlightenment Era to discuss ideas of Liberalism, Theology, and pretty much anything else you could discuss while drinking in a Beer Hall.

Free Masonry doesn't have a religion.
For example I am a Vaishnava and a Freemason, however my Lodge contains mostly Christians, though we have a Sikh and a Muslim and I know of Jews in other Lodges.
I can't comment on the Illuminate since I don't belive it's existance and Ive never heard of the skull and bones
