“Naughty, Naughty Illuminati”

Dear Not An Illuminati,
The Illuminati was a Bavarian secret society formed in 1776 in Ingolstadt, Germany. Similar to the Freemason society, the Illuminati was a secret society with religious, as well as secular, elements to it. The truth is that the Illuminati and societies that diverged from the Illuminati died out years ago. It is the pop-fiction industry that has revived the term ‘Illuminati’ by creating conspiracy-theory books that portray the Illuminati as a surviving secret society bent on ushering in a new world order. These books make for exciting fireside reading, but they are still fiction. The Illuminati was a cult that existed in Europe several centuries ago, but it no longer is a factor in today’s society.
