What Bavarian cult originated out of opposition to the monarchy and religion?

In fiction and in real life, the Illuminati have been blamed for a wide variety of crimes and revolutions, with some believing that the group controls the world. Founded in 1776 Bavaria, the group was founded under Enlightenment figures who resisted monarchical and religious abuses. Although the cult was outlawed, they are believed to have simply gone underground, only to become the puppeteers of everything from the French Revolution to the Cold War.
