What is your question? Why wouldn't there be one? There are 2.5 million masons in the US; I'm sure some are in/near Clemson. My guess as to why there's a Masonic temple ... is because there are practicing Masons?
There is also a mosque, a synagogue, and other various houses of worship. What's the problem?

Almost any school the size of Clemson will have representatives from every major religion. They have to have somewhere to practice their faith.

You are correct; it isn't.
However because a belief in god is a requirement it is often thought of a religious organization.

By that logic the Boy Scouts are a religious organization.***

Yea like in front of the Shriners Hospital's, or take a kid to the Shriners Circus
maybe you should take a tour and then come back and share your thoughts.
FYI not all Masons are Shriners and Masons don't have or use clown cars
All Shriners are Masons

Because Masons are everywhere, and an important part of our history and future.
I look forward to getting a chance to visit next time I'm home.

The Mason's are dying out. They now will accept anyone...

to be a Mason. It used to be member's were carefully selected, or were chosen because they were friends with a Mason. Now with there numbers so low, all you have to do to become a Mason is ask a Mason and you can become one.

Kinda disrespectful. I wouldn't be surprised if there are thousands of Masons in Death Valley every fall Saturday.
My grandfather was one, he seemed to enjoy it mainly because of the comradeship and fraternal aspect.
