No, the Illuminati was never a religious organization. The 'Illuminati', was founded by Adam Weishaupt, a Bavarian writer and scholar, to oppose superstition, prejudice, to support women's education and gender equality, abuses of state power, and religious influence over public life. The organization eventually numbered about 2000 members throughout Europe. The name of the organization 'Illuminati', is the plural form for the Latin word for 'enlightened ones'.
One of the goals of the Illuminati was the overthrow of an oppressive monarchy and the control of civil authorities by the Roman Catholic Church. They were very unsuccessful in their endeavor because that monarch, Karl Theodor, Duke of Bavaria and Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, successfully destroyed the organization and imprisoned their leadership, which ended the existence of the Illuminati.
The Illuminati that are rumored to be an organisation of social elite with far reaching global/political influence, therefor a band of stuffed suits, not a group ever to have been given any credence of religious affiliation; and never even widely conceived to truly exist.

∙ 10y agoThe Illuminati was never a religion of any kind. The Illuminati was an organization (1776-1785), founded by Adam Weishaupt, a Bavarian writer and scholar, of enlightened intellectuals whose goal was the overthrow of the oppressive monarchy and the control of civil authorities by the Roman Catholic Church. The organization was very unsuccessful in their endeavor because that monarch, Karl Theodor, Duke of Bavaria and Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, successfully destroyed the organization and imprisoned the leadership who were not able to flee, effectively ending the organization.
The only Illuminati that exists today is the invention of writers and bloggers who enjoy feeding the imaginations of paranoid and naive individuals.

However the truth is the Illuminati is an ancient group of scientists who practiced "magic" when really they were making scientific breakthroughs! Hope this helps XOXOX

Does Chris Brown believe in God or Illuminati?
It is reported that he claims a belief in God. The Illuminati part is confusing. Illuminati is not a religion, so belief is something that is not a religion is not contradictory to a belief in God. The question is asked as an "either/or" choice. It can't really be answered one of the other. If Chris Brown chooses to believe in an organization that existed for nine years at the end of the 18th century, that is clearly his prerogative.
