Here is the story:
"On 1st May 1776, during the Age of Enlightenment, freethinkers and scientists who disagreed with the Catholicism created a movement called Illuminati. In 1784, the government banned all secret societies, including the Illuminati."
There was a movement called "Illuminati". The Bavarian Illuminati.
Ok, what's up? The conspiracy theorists claims that the Bavarian Illuminati are still alive today and that they will create a New World Order. This is modern conspiracy theory about the Bavarian Illuminati. According to theories, they were behind the 11th September attacks and they are governing countries all around the world… etc… Conspiracy theories, crap.
The Illuminati existed. But they no longer "rule the world" (as they say). They don't exist.
