FAITH IS THE BELIEF IN SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE PROVEN.

Religious belief is often grounded in information received from sources that cannot be independently verified, commonly known as hearsay. Millions follow the commandments of sacred texts without ever having spoken to their authors, and billions believe in a deity based on miracles relayed by people who were neither present nor alive at the time. Yet to renounce faith is true folly. Faith is not confined to religious believers. Even the most devout pontiff cannot provide undeniable proof of their god’s existence, just as the scientist who denies any deity in the universe lacks definitive evidence to prove this either. Both rely on their own faith to explain things beyond their comprehension. There is no proof of God. There is no proof of no God. If science cannot conclusively disprove the existence of God, it must, by necessity, accept the possibility that a higher power may exist.

THE DEEPEST DOUBT BUILDS THE STRONGEST FAITH.

The Illuminati’s foundation rests upon this universal paradox of faith and doubt. We do not question whether a god exists or does not exist, but instead focus on improving the human condition on this planet. Our decisions are guided by the study of data and evidence—factors that can be altered by an omniscient being to shape our actions and the future of humanity.

BE WARY OF THOSE WHO USE OUR NAME.

For decades, many individuals have misrepresented the Illuminati, their deceit clouding the public’s understanding of our organization. As a result, some believe that wrongdoings are carried out in our name. For anyone to claim that the Illuminati is affiliated with any specific religious belief—whether it be God, Satan, Baphomet, or any other deity—undermines our core purpose of remaining independent from human divisions. We neither accept nor deny the existence of any deity, holding none to be superior to the other. Our sole mission is the welfare of the human species we are entrusted to protect. Even more sinister rumors have been spread about our involvement in human sacrifices and violent rituals. While our members are free to follow any deity of their choice, the Illuminati as a whole is dedicated solely to the preservation of humanity. Thus, human sacrifices or any practices that do not serve humanity’s betterment are prohibited, as they directly contradict our values.

MUST A GOD EXIST FOR YOU TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT?

Would an all-knowing, all-powerful god care about the name used to worship them? Would such a god require you to harm another when their justice could be served without your involvement? Simply do what is right and beneficial for the human species, and any higher power that exists will reward you for your stewardship.
