Well, there's no mention of God or Christ in freemasonry. They refer to an Architect of the Universe or variations of it as their supreme being. I didn't say they're satanic, for sure not the entry levels anyway. They're useful idiots most of them giving legitimacy to a more darker top tiers who know how to use their egregor and more.
The French branch not recognized by UGLE accepts both women and atheist ls because they take an oath on a blank book instead of Bible or Coran and so on. Most accept only men tho. Ironically, the French are trying to front-run everyone.
As for origins, well, that's a very long story. Cain sounds familiar?

Oh someone did... Huh. Must've got mixed up.
I haven't heard they go back to Cain. I thought it stopped at Noah. There's some legend about Noah's corpse and something they forgot and waiting for the corpse to tell them what they forgot. I forgot how it goes! Ironic. Probably conflating two things, too.
I think the point about calling God the "architect of the universe" is that anyone from any religion can agree that the universe is perfectly designed. But, we're more of a work in progress, like little architects building little temples, in a fairly obvious allusion to Jesus' statement that he'll rebuild this temple in three days - that being himself.
Hiram Abiff, often referred to as Hiram the architect, is a central figure in Freemasonry, traditionally believed to have been the chief architect employed by King Solomon to build his temple in Jerusalem. His legend is used in the master mason ritual.
One time he goes down to the center of the Earth where he meets Cain who gives him a proper initiation. This is not told to the masses because then you have to enquire about the paternity of Cain and look closer into Eden.
Freemasonry claims they go back even longer, back when Mars was a thing. However,.as I've said, it used to be a good thing once. Now is a social club for wankers at best. Maybe 1 in 10,000 does the proper inner work. Good luck, theoretically there's hope for everyone!
