At best, we can only speculate.
Perhaps he was responding to the overbearing control exerted by the church. Maybe he wanted to form his own club with a special clubhouse and secret passwords. Perhaps he had a vision of the future and saw how his creation would dominate the minds of weak people and he had a bit of a freudenschade moment.
The "Order of the Illuminati" was an "enlightenment" movement modeled on the Freemasons that was founded in 1776 in Bavaria by Adam Weishaupt, the first lay professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt. The movement was made up of freethinkers as an offshoot of the Enlightenment.

They broke up around 1785. The modern, imaginary Illuminati are no more real than unicorns. It is very wrong to call someone else one just because you envy them, the way people do these days. That's accusing them of conspiracy-- not something you want to try unless have an unlimited legal budget. But in real-life terms, all the actual Illuminati died centuries ago. No living person has ever been proven to be an Illuminati in a court of law. Historically the Illuminati was a group of individuals who made up an Enlightenment era secret society which began in 1776 and lasted for about ten years, at the most.
They may have. See, back in 1776, when Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati, he imbued it with mystical ceremonies and promised supernatural knowledge and power to those who ascended the levels. His purpose for this seems to have been to play to the greed of those he was convincing to join the organization. The thing is, when he failed to produce on his promises, a large number of the aristocracy who he had duped became disillusioned with him and his secret society, and they walked away. Some of these activities, along with Weishaupt's attempts to separate the church and state, and his republican philosophies, rubbed the church and monarchy the wrong way. In 1785 the Duke of Bavaria ordered the organization disbanded (after having made a general order to such the year before for all secret societies), and hunted down the members he could find. Weishaupt fled to another region north of Bavaria where he died in 1830. The problem is that we don't know enough about what Weishaupt's ceremonies were, and it is unlikely that anyone in that time would have practiced something like drinking goat's blood that would so automatically be associated with the Devil by the Church. If you mean the Illuminati today, then no. The organization no longer exists.
No, Sandler is not part of a mythical, largely made-up, although loosely based in reality former organization from south central Europe. The Illuminati does not exist, so it would be difficult for anyone to be "part" of it.
its made out of Illuminati. You see the natural satallite is actually an Illuminati.
No one is Illuminati. They are not real and do not exist. They were made up for a good story.
No. The Illuminati no longer exists, not since 1785. While many Illuminati were also in the Freemasons, the two were separate orders.
Yes. The organization usually referred to as "The Illuminati" was called "The Order of the Illuminati" and was founded on May 1 1776 by Adam Weishaupt. The organization was heavily modeled on Freemasonry and in fact drew several of its members from Masonic Lodges. The group was outlawed (along with all "secret societies") in 1784 by the ruler of Bavaria, one Karl Theodore. The organization ultimately folded in 1785. These historical facts however have not prevented conspiracy theorists from proposing that the order survives to this day. Nevertheless, the "Illuminati" were in fact real. There is *no* hard evidence of their existence since 1785. Conspiracy buffs in recent years have adopted a fictional book's claims the Illuminati still exist, as being real. There is no actual evidence of this. They will claim Masonic imagery as "Illuminati", even though the real Illuminati was not a Masonic organization. Since the Masons actually exist, this allows them to pretend the Illuminati do too. Recently they have decided that the "Okay" gesture is Illuminati, and have taken to posting images of celebrities making the "okay" gesture as proof that the celebrities are Illuminati. I just made the gesture myself, so when do I get my membership package? No matter how many web pages they make, and no matter how many YouTube shorts with ominous music they make, the CT's can't get past the simple fact that there is *zero* evidence of the Illuminati currently existing. No one has been convicted in a court of law as being Illuminati. Claiming someone, especially a celeb, is part of a criminal conspiracy is a risky thing to do without an unlimited legal budget.
Lady Gaga is not an Illuminati. People kept calling her one and it made her laugh.
The Illuminati is the name given to made up groups of people who claimed to have special knowledge of things.
The Illuminati don't exist. They are made up for books so no one is part of them.
