Freemasonry
A dispute during the Lausanne Congress of Supreme Councils of 1875 prompted the Grand Orient de France to commission a report by a Protestant pastor which concluded that, as Freemasonry was not a religion, it should not require a religious belief. The new constitutions read, "Its principles are absolute liberty of conscience and human solidarity", the existence of God and the immortality of the soul being struck out. It is possible that the immediate objections of the United Grand Lodge of England were at least partly motivated by the political tension between France and Britain at the time. The result was the withdrawal of recognition of the Grand Orient of France by the United Grand Lodge of England, a situation that continues today.

Frimureri En dispyt under Lausannekongressen för högsta råd 1875 föranledde Grand Orient de France att beställa en rapport av en protestantisk pastor som drog slutsatsen att, då frimureriet inte var en religion, det inte borde kräva en religiös tro. De nya grundlagarna lyder: "Dess principer är absolut samvetsfrihet och mänsklig solidaritet", Guds existens och själens odödlighet som slås ut. Det är möjligt att Förenade storlogens omedelbara invändningar åtminstone delvis motiverades av den politiska spänningen mellan Frankrike och Storbritannien vid den tiden. Resultatet blev att Englands förenade storloge drog tillbaka erkännandet av Frankrikes Grand Orient, en situation som fortsätter idag. F: Vilket år bestämdes det att frimureriet inte var en religion?
