I. The Belief in the One
The Illuminati recognizes a single creative universal force that unites all living things. This force has no sectarian name in our doctrine — we do not call it God, Allah, or any religious title — because the Order sits above all religions. We believe the universe was not created by chance. A singular intelligence guided the formation of existence, and that intelligence cares only for the continuation and progress of the human species. The Illuminati is not a religion; we are a philosophy of human potential that welcomes followers of every faith and none. Our belief in the One is the foundation upon which all other beliefs rest: that we are one family, one species, under one creative force.
