The majority of Masons in the United States are Christian, so most times you will see the Holy Bible on the Altar. But there are Jewish, Buddhist, and yes, even Muslim members. Our ceremonies are suitably revised to reflect the name of the Volume of Sacred Light on the altar.

Jewish Masons tend to gravitate towards the Scottish Rite rather than the York Rite, as the the Knight Templar orders (the highest degrees of the York Rite) are specifically for those of the Christian faith.
This is 100% correct.

And this one statement sums everything up. There is really nothing else to discuss.
