Yup, not illumination, just a bunch of psychopats, lost some battles (With their egos, for example, but not only).
I would also say that having a cult (Satan, in this case) is itself not a sign of spiritual wisdom. Also, as we know, they love symbolism and rituals. I don`t think spiritually advanced person would allow to be enslaved/rulled by such outside factors. So i would use the word "literati" instead of "illuminati".
