Question to all free masons (some unconspiracy theorist info please) ?

how do you become a freemason. over the last 24 hours i have taken an intereest in the freemasons. years ago the history channel said they spend 1 million dollars to charity (more than any other group worldwide) but ive also heard they worship the devil (which i doubt is true). stuff about the knights templar and friday the 13th. i know that many of our presidents are fouding fathers. my question is how do you become one? i figure if you as a group donate so much it has to be an honorable one. my father also wants to become a freemason and originally gave me the idea a few year ago. i cant join the freemason society at this point because of my age but would be thankful if i had a good place to read about them. thank you for reading this. how do you become a mason?
