Johann Adam Weishaupt was a German philosopher and founder of the Order of the Illuminati, a secret society... (wikipedia)

And of all illumination which human reason can give, none is comparable to the discovery of what we are, our nature, our obligations, what happiness we are capable of, and what are the means of attaining it.

This is the great object held out by this association; and the means of attaining it is illumination, enlightening the understanding by the sun of reason which will dispell the clouds of superstition and of prejudice.

When man lives under government, he is fallen, his worth is gone, and his nature tarnished.

The human race will then become one family, and the world will be the dwelling of Rational Men.

Let this circumstance of our constitution therefore be directed to this noble purpose, and then all the objections urged against it by jealous tyranny and affrighted superstition will vanish.
