I was just wondering.
I didn't think they would use a bunch of christian symbolism. Thanks for letting me know.
 
Yes.

Masonry does not use any symbols that would be considered Christian or specific to any one religion as it is not a religion, nor a substitute for one.

Most of the legend of Masonry is drawn from the Old Testament, not the New Testament.

The Cross is never displayed in regular Masonry. The exception to this is the degrees of the Knights Templar. In some jurisdictions you must be a Christian to join that order.
 
Various parts of Masonry use New Testament prayers, references to Saints, the cross as a religious symbol.
Although, it is stated that the cross is being used as a symbol of religion in general rather than the Christian religion.
In the event a particular Lodge places a focal point on Christ than I doubt Judaism would be involved.

God bless'
