The Illuminati is an ancient fraternity that once existed and is believed to still exist today even though there is no real proof of the existence of this fraternity to this day. Illuminati means New Enlightenment. The Illuminati are called the Illuminatus which means the Enlightened One. The Illuminati was formerly named Perfectibilists founded by Adam Weishaupt (1748-1811) a born and raised Jew in Ingolstadt, having an educational background as a Jesuit who later became a Catholic priest and subsequently organized the House of Rothschild. In further developments, he and his organization have the heretical views of the official teaching of the Catholic Church, so that it is excommunicated (excluded from teaching the doctrine) by the church and excluded from Christian church groups. The Illuminatus are people who seek answers to what religion calls the mystery of God. According to them with science no longer the mystery of God, all there is the answer.
In Dan Brown's novel "Angels and Demon"; One of the famous Illuminatus was Galilei Galileo an anthropologist who had to be sentenced to life by the church for making a statement that the center of the non-earthly universe is the sun. The statement is considered offensive to the church because it implies that God deliberately places the center of life on another planet. Since then Illuminatus hunted by the church. They were hunted down and given a cross stamp in their chest and then killed. The Illuminati then moved from the underground as a secret society most sought after by the church. The runaway illuminatus then meets with another secretive group of rock experts called Freemasonry or more commonly called the Masons.
Delopment of the Illuminati
Since joining the Freemasonry group, the illuminati has become stronger because it is helped by a network of Freemasonry groups that seem to be unaware of being used as a safe means of transportation by the illuminati. The Illuminati continue to be hunted by the church. They were branded as Luciferian Conspiracists, because they, like the Freemasonry, had a worship ritual of "The Great Architect", symbolized by them as "The Wholeseeing-Eye" ("God's Eyes") of Egyptian legend); which is the symbol of Lucifer (the devil's name in the Christian tradition).
Since 1782 the Illuminati movement has spread from Denmark to Portugal, even further. The illiterated British people joined the Americans to build the Columbia Loji in New York City that same year. A young Russian nobleman, Alexander Radischev, joined Leipzieg, and spread his doctrine to his hometown of St. Louis. Petersburg. In Lisabon a poet named Claudio Manuel da Costa became a member, and when he moved to Brazil he established a branch with the help of two doctors from Ouro Preto, Domingos Vidal Barbarosa and Jose Alvares Maciel. In 1788 the trio unleashed the first Illuminati revolt, Inconfidencia Mineira, but the rebellion was crushed when it was just picked by the young king Marquis de Barbacena. Until now, they have fought silently against and attempted to undermine the Roman Catholic church, which is supposed to symbolize the power of Jesus Christ, the enemy of Lucifer.
