===Schism with the United Grand Lodge of England===
In 1877, at the instigation of the Protestant pastor [[Frédéric Desmons]],<ref>https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/185196532/frédéric-desmons {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180129004709/https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/185196532/fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric-desmons |date=29 January 2018 }} {{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}</ref> it allowed those who had no belief in a [[God|supreme being]] to be admitted.<ref>[http://www.masonicworld.com/education/files/artmay01/grande_lodge_of_france.htm The Grand Orient of France and the three great lights] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927004536/http://www.masonicworld.com/education/files/artmay01/grande_lodge_of_france.htm |date=27 September 2007 }}</ref> The [[United Grand Lodge of England]] (UGLE) and related Lodges regarded belief in the Supreme Being as a [[Masonic Landmarks|Masonic Landmark]].
It was this decision that has been the root cause of the schism between the Grand Orient (and those lodges that followed it), and the rest of Freemasonry. It is a schism in Freemasonry which continues to this day. It is argued that the definition is ambiguous, that Anderson's Landmarks are his own collection and interpretation of the historical landmarks, and that changes in both interpretation and practice have occurred before and since.
