Illuminatrists, often referred to in the context of conspiracy theories, are believed to be members of the Illuminati, a purported secret society that seeks to control global affairs and influence political and social outcomes. The term is commonly associated with various conspiracy theories suggesting that this group operates Behind the Scenes to manipulate world events. Historically, the Illuminati originated in the 18th century as a group of Enlightenment thinkers advocating for reason and secularism, but it has since evolved into a symbol of conspiracy and intrigue. Most claims about contemporary Illuminati activities lack credible evidence and are largely considered myths or speculative fiction.
