I have no knowledge of the Illuminati being involved in modern freemasonry.

However, if I did, that would be my answer as well...

EDIT This is the only comment I'm editing. If you can't read the sarcasm in the second part of the reply, I apologize.

Real answer: In my Masonic knowledge, the Illuminati is just a conspiracy theory and has nothing to do with the Freemasonry I have participated in; nor does it have any connection to any modern Masonry that I have heard of. This is not veiled or coy. There is just nothing there.

I do rig every Oscar night.

Nope, this kind of education is why I'm doing this AMA.

I think it's pretty common knowledge that most of the founding fathers, including Washington, Madison, Jefferson, and Franklin were masons, not to mention Voltaire and Bolivar (revolutionaries in other countries).

The biggest shock to me is how few masons are involved in government today. If there are any members of congress that are masons, they are not open about it.

They never even ask if you're a Christian. However you must take your oath on a 'holy' book. My lodge just purchased it's first masonic Quran because we got our first Muslim member.
