This book established two unrefutable facts: 1) Freemasonry had only a small influence in the construction of the US Constitution 2) The Illuminati had only a small influence in freemasonry at the time the US Constitution was being constructed The Questions this book does not answer: 1) Did the Illuminati have any influence on the construction of the US Constitution 2) Were agents of the Illumnati working in government at the time the US Constitution was constructed Late 18th Century Freemasonry held a strong Christian bias and not that of Secularism. While all Founding Fathers were not traditional Christians, they all promoted the Christian ethic as an essential to freedom. Illuminism seems to have gained a presence in Freemasonry somewhere near the mid to late 19th century, though it may have been present earlier. These facts help us answer the last two questions: 1) No, the Illuminati did not have a significant influence, if any, on the construction of the United States since A. it did not gain a significant influence until the mid to late 19th cent. and B. the Founding Fathers did not believe that the Constitution was compatible with any civilization that did not observe Judeo-Christian principles. 2) Maybe, it is possible that sympathizers worked in government at this time but would have had very little influence until the 1850s or later.
