The Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both historical and modern, and both real and fictitious. Historically, the name refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret society founded on May 1, 1776.

In modern times it is also used to refer to a purported conspiratorial organization which acts as a shadowy "power behind the throne", allegedly controlling world affairs through present day governments and corporations, usually as a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. In this context, the Illuminati are believed to be the masterminds behind events that will lead to the establishment of a New world order. In angels and demons book i read that Prof.Robert Langdon said that galileo galilei was an illuminatus.galileo's arrest threw the illuminati into upheaval.mistakes were made,and the church discovered the identities of four members,whom the captured and interrogated.but the four scientist revealed nothing..even under torture.then the scientists were brutally murdrerd,their dead bodies dropped in the streets of rome as a warning to others thinking of joining the illuminati.with the church closing in the remaining illuminati fled italy.the illuminati went deep underground,where they began mixing with other refugee groups fleeing the catholic purges-mystics,alchemist,occultists,muslims,jews.over the years,the illuminati become absorbing new members.a new illuminati emerged.a darker illuminati.they grew very powerful,employing mysterious rites,deadly secrecy,vowing someday to rise again and take revenge on the catholic church.their power grew to the point where the church considered them the single most dangerous anti christian force on earth.the vatican denounced the brotherhood as SHAITAN".i will paused here because i did'nt finish yet read the book..
