Everything You Didn’t Know About The Illuminati

One of the Illuminati’s core beliefs was that every person should have access to knowledge, education, and the right to think for themselves. This idea sounds normal today, but in the 1700s it was incredibly bold — even dangerous.

People are often surprised by how progressive they were. They challenged the idea that only the wealthy or powerful deserved education. To them, enlightenment wasn’t a privilege — it was a human right. This belief alone put them at odds with many traditional systems of the time.
