Well, what about all those Luciferian texts and the Luciferian cults and the Luciferian this and the Luciferian that?
Well, there may be a few small cults here and there that identify as "Luciferian" (and might be considered as such by some, like the Process Church) but as you probably know a handful of people can get together and call themselves whatever they want.
It's much the same way people misidentify the Eye of Providence with the Eye of Horus. Because they can and it feels good.
The truth is that the "facts" you might have heard about the "Luciferians" in the New World Order are based entirely on rumor and innuendo arising from the fertile imaginations of religious paranoids, many of which are of extremely recent vintage (Jack Chick, Texe Marrs, Tony Alamo, etc etc etc).
The name has entered the lexicon because "Satanist" sounds too trailer-park, is my best guess. "Luciferian" sounds all hoity-toity and
Masterpiece Theatre. British accents are almost
de rigeur.
Similarly, the Bavarian Illuminati were not "Luciferian," unless you begin to stretch the term to mean absolutely anything you want it to. The Bavarian Illuminati
were in fact Enlightenment rationalists, most of whom had little time for supernaturalism of any kind.
