Relatively the same thing, they just go by standard as opposed to metric.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33508770 OK, but my understanding is that the Scottish Rite is Christian branch of Freemasonry and the York Rite is not. Is that true? Also, rumor has it that the York Rite cannot call themselves Knights Templars anymore. Have you heard this? Scottish Rite is more philosophical in their acts if you understand what I'm saying. York rite favors the way our Military practices in ceremony. To the best of my knowledge the Order of the Templar is a separate yet related order. Kind of like the Fraternal order of Oddfellows. I know some symbols are used in the York and Scottish rites, yet they are different in the end. I think all of the different branches make up on tree of life so to speak. Philosophy, Chivalry, Religion, and Spirituality. I won't lie to you in saying that I am a Mason, however I do come from a long line of Masons and I was told the best path to take is that of study before you petition. Thanks for the comment and honesty. My understanding based on reading their books is that the Scottish Rite is more esoteric which was founded in France and it is also more Christian based while also International by respecting various nationalities, customs and the rites that are incorporated into their degrees. After all, the goal has always been a one world order. An the York Rite, or the American Rite, up to the 32 degree are essentially not Christian until once you reach the Knights Templar, that is when you will need to profess a belief in Christian doctrine. Hence, both branches of Freemasonry are essentially Christian based and work had and hand with the founders of the Christian religion who happen to be in Rome. Honestly its hard to say what their ideas are without joining them. For instance their most basic symbol would have been an executable blasphemy if any had let slip the truth what it meant, yet they have their own version of the Christian bible and their basic ideas were started by Solomon. In a religious sense I would say that they are Judea/Christian. The York Rite is a continuation of the Blue lodge as opposed to Scottish Rite which follows the Red lodge. The degrees end at 33 and 13, 33 for the Scottish Rite and 13 for the York Rite. The Templar Order has never had any proof of any influence on Either the Scottish or York rites of Freemasonry until the Revival and adoption of the Order of the Templar by Freemasons. Like I said they do share some symbols but all religions and ideas have similarities. However, there is a chance that some Templars escaping persecution found safe harbor around the time of the unification of the four lodges in Scotland however Freemasonry was developing on its own at the time anyway, there was never any proof that there was any link at all. One could say that "Some" Masons are Templars yet not all Masons are.
