Yes and no, they are all using the same secrets and energies just to different outcomes, its yourself that determine if yourself that transmutes the energy to good or evil.
But in the grand cosmic sense, both sides are playing their role in the architects scheme. The masonic mythology says that "satan" or Lucifer chose to play the devil not because he was the worst, but because he is the best of Angels.

I should add that the bible disputes this claim about Lucifer.
Templars are long gone. Jews didn't like the Freemasons in their early history since they were jew wise, they saw them as a White man's frat and took it over according to the Protocols. Old school masons that founded America were cool and denied entry to jews, niggers and women; now it's filled with mundies, niggers, pigs and Zionists.
Masons used the hexagram(seal of Solomon) longer than the jews. I honestly think Rothschild used it as a symbol of Zionism to show their dominance over the White man's fraternities.

Yeah
But I think there was a battle during William the Orange vs. King James and the Freemasons broke into two groups of Templars and Protestants for awhile (not anymore). Because the Founders of America didn't use the same imagery at times and didn't demonize the Creator the way the Gnostics-Kabbala-Templars do. Meaning the big G or Grand Archetech is bad for creating this world but it was seen as good to the Founders of America. This is where you get the "Illuminati" infiltration bullshit. It wasn't just them it was lots of groups. Another example is original American Freemasons weren't worshiping any "divine feminine" or practice homosexual stuff, and they didn't welcome all religions even with freedom of religion… they were very anti-Catholic for example.
I think there was a schism for awhile, sort of like NatSoc had a short run (but much shorter because modern times move much faster with travel and such).
Templars goal was always to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem which brings forth the antichrist according to the Christian gospels. That should tell you something.
Actually the mythology says that Satan works for Jehovah as the angel of death and that Lucifer is a different character as the serpent that gives wisdom to Adam and Eve… bringing them out of ignorance that Elohim (the Demiruge [a bastardization of Plato's Demiruge]) kept them in. Lucifer is seen as the male (transexual) aspect of Venus. And the Holy Spirit is a divine feminine spirit. This is why they always use the Venus star (pentagram). But it's a double edges serpent because ignorance is bliss, so it depends how you look at it. One serpent is knowledge, the other death.
