Some are ordained priests,, ministers, or rabbis; many serve in lay capacities and others have no affiliation. With origins in post-Reformation England, Illuminati members allegories and rituals are rooted in Judeo-Christian tradition. They exemplify mankind’s universal experience and inculcate an admired moral and ethical value system. With respect to religion, Illuminati simply teaches the “Fatherhood of God” and the “Brotherhood of Man.”
