Folks, Zenit.Org is featuring an interview with Massimo Introvigne, director of the Turin-based Center for Studies in New Religions, regarding the existence of the so-called "Illuminati," and their links to the Freemasons, the Knights Templar, etc., as well as the resurgence of their myth in Dan Brown's "historical" novels, Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code. This is my favorite quote:
Those who want to persuade us that a secret Illuminati cabal did lead the world from the Renaissance to the 19th century, and continues to do so today, have a very difficult burden of proof, and never even came close to produce documents or evidence that such is the case.In my opinion, the Illuminati are alive and well in the feverish minds of some "historical novelists" bent on making money, and nowhere else.

No, we don't
That should be "No, they don't"
My husband believes in the existence of the Illuminati...I am not trying to be a smart aleck, but he has also been diagnosed as having paranoid tendencies....I have often wondered if he believes in some of the things he believes in, because of being somewhat paranoid...
One time I was talking about this with some other people that I worked with at a nursing home, and the charge nurse overheard us, and she knew exactly what I was talking about, as she also believed that the Illuminati were active to this very day...
My husband worked at the post office, and lots of his fellow postal employees also believed in the existence of the Illuminati...
