"Dune may have less of a following than Star Wars or Lord of the Rings, but in esoteric value, it is perhaps a masterpiece of a higher order."

Freemason and Jesuit similarities in 'Dune'

In the novel 'Dune' the order of the Bene Gesserit is a play on 'bene Jesuit' which is Latin and English combined for 'good Jesuit', a term often used sarcastically. The name Fremen plays on Freemason and the use of the color blue in the Fremen's eyes is representative of the Blue Lodge which is the primary order in Freemasonry. Also, the Jesuits and Freemasons have a long history of political rivalry which is a parallel to the Bene Gesserit and Fremen connection.
