Well, seeing as how the only biblical reference to Lucifer was just giving another name to the planet Venus, then "luciferian belief" is simply belief that there's a planet Venus...

No, it hasn't.
The pentagram has always been viewed as Satanic,
Morning star, and you realize that the number of times Jesus is referred to as the morning star in the bible outnumbers the references to Lucifer as morning start by a factor of 2 or 3???
representing the "day star" or Lucifer,
Which just shows that you know absolutely nothing about Masonic symbolism, because the 5 pointed star is not particularly important in Masonry. Certainly the Square, Compasses, Level, and Plumb are more important than the pentagram. Hell, the 24-inch gauge, common gavel, and trowel are more important than the pentagram... Do some research.
and yet it is one of the most important symbols in masonry.

Several years ago, a friend of mine was interested in petitioning our local lodge, but was hesitant. His reason??? Quote: "I heard you have to get naked and ride a goat around blindfolded in the yard."
I almost busted a gut from laughing so hard!
EDIT: The goat wasn't to be blindfolded, just the candidate.

Was John a Freemason?
Was John a cousin/relation of Jesus?
Was Jesus a Freemason?

Are the Freemasons, Vatican and Illuminati working together?
Or the question is: Are they ALL THE SAME with just different names?

Is it possible that John initiated Jesus into Freemasonry?
Was Lazarus a Mason and his death and resurrection a symbol still used today in the Freemasonry?
Not necessarily. It is true that people give preferential treatment to other people that they already know over complete strangers. But that doesn't require Masonic membership... the same could be said of people who attend the same university or the same church, or who's kids are on the same softball team. Nepotism isn't exclusively the byproduct of secret societies—it's part of human nature.
