There are only three female lodges in the USA:

Correction, there are many more female lodges:


But it's more Christinsanitian, and they have to have a male present lol:

Correction, in certain areas (one in the UK), they don't have to have a male present (Eastern Star is more of an American Bible Belt thing):

You mentioned Black Masons, they have a specific wing of Freemasonry that historically (and still today largely) is for Blacks only:

Lastly, I want to address the issue of a Mason having to believe in there being some kind of Supreme Being (which an atheist such as yourself wouldn't agree with -here the ex-Church of Englander Alan Watts makes a good point):


Quote Alan Watts: "If you are intelligent and reasonable, you cannot be a product of a mechanical and meaningless universe. Figs do not grow on thistles, grapes do not grow on thorns; therefore you, as an expression of the universe, as an aperture through which the universe is observing itself, cannot be a mere fluke. Because if this world peoples, as trees bring forth fruit, then the universe itself - the energy which underlies it, what it is all about - must be intelligent. Now when you come to that conclusion, you must be very careful, because you may make an unwarranted jump; namely, the jump to the conclusion that that intelligence, that marvelous designing power which produces all of this, is the Biblical God."

Lastly, a great sermon by Alan Watts about the Church of England - the last 45 seconds are key:
