The devil has only gotten into pentagrams recently; their first use was a Pythagorean symbol of health, hygiene, and harmony, and was a positive theistic philosophy. From there they became a symbol of Jerusalem while it still had strong old-covenant people in it, when it was strongly turned from its idolatry and ready to receive a Messiah. It was only by centuries of tweaking that the devil brought the inverted form around to typically represent him, and he still hasn't claimed the upright form in most people's minds. But everything the devil claims has been stolen and we have no need to regard a symbol as impure to us just because the impure use it typically without our knowledge. Instead, recognize that evil people use it to communicate with each other, learn the difference between those comms and sincere people meaning pure thoughts, and call out the evil done.
It is possible to claim any symbol whatsoever as corrupted, and it is possible to redeem any symbol whatsoever for the pure.
There was lots of Freemasonry, lots of questionable syncretism, and we cannot judge the founders as if we know the states of their hearts; God knows. We can judge that they gave us a great system that is still alive today, and that system is still formally subject to "our Lord" in whose year 1787 it was Constituted. If they worshipped the devil, God will judge them. If they laid the seeds of our destruction, they utterly failed because those seeds still haven't borne fruit, and I'm one American who will never be destroyed.
It's more balanced to say the devil had infiltrators then and now, and he (not the constantly shifting Masons and other Illuminati) has always been the unifying plan, with a constant result of failure. We overturned the first three central banks in this country, and we are now emboldened to overturn the fourth, the Fed. Jehu destroyed Baal worship in his generation, and we can do the same. So however badly these dudes were messed up is not ours to judge: when government fails it's our job "to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for [our] future security", just as these fine folks said.
