7. The Illuminati is a secret society that has a major influence on the world. The Illuminati originated but diverged from a group called Bavarian Illuminati in 1766. We really don't know if they exist.

8. The author made sure to distinguish that the modern Illuminati have diverged from the Bavarian Illuminati and have no connections and also the author made sure to tell the readers that no one really does know if they are real and if they are real how much influence they have on our world.

9. This author is not trying to persuade anyone, instead the author is being more informative and allowing readers to make a decision for themselves and so far my decision is they are real to a certain extent, like they are real but i don't think they have much power or influence over the world yet even though they have money and power.

10. "In subsequent use, "Illuminati" refers to various organizations claiming or purported to have unsubstantiated links to the original Bavarian Illuminati or similar secret societies, and often alleged to conspire to control world affairs by [|masterminding] events and planting agents in [|government] and [|corporations] to establish a [|New World Order] and gain further political power and influence."

"Central to some of the most widely known and elaborate [|conspiracy theories], the Illuminati have been depicted as lurking in the shadows and pulling the strings and levers of power in dozens of novels, movies, television shows, comics, video games, and music videos."

"The **Illuminati** (plural of [|Latin] //illuminatus//, "enlightened") is a name given to several groups, both real and fictitious. Historically, the name refers to the **Bavarian Illuminati**, an [|Enlightenment]-era [|secret society] founded on May 1, 1776 to oppose [|superstition], [|prejudice], religious influence over public life, abuses of [|state power], and to support women's education and [|gender equality]."

"However, writers such as [|Mark Dice],[|[][|13][|]] [|David Icke], [|Texe Marrs], Jüri Lina and Morgan Gricar have argued that the Bavarian Illuminati survived, possibly to this day. Many of these theories propose that world events are being controlled and manipulated by a [|secret society] calling itself the Illuminati.[|[][|14][|]][|[][|15][|]] [|Conspiracy theorists] have claimed that many notable people were or are members of the Illuminati. Presidents of the United States are a common target for such claims."
