This may explain some of the hostility I have shown when you quoted LaVey, and may highlight the difficulty I have in dealing with your clan name - however much in jest it may or may not be.
If it is not I stand corrected, and shall go research it myself. If it is, you know where I stand, and may gain insight into certain things.

Okay. Well, you are quite mistaken. "Illuminati" is just a generic term referring to any number of religious organizations who claim some sort of special enlightenment, as any dictionary will show you. I have never heard of a satanist group calling themselves "illuminati", but certainly it is possible, as it is possible that virtually any type of religious group could use that term.
This is kind of off the subject, but why do you think Crowley was a Satanist anyway? Certainly LaVey was, but I don't think Crowley was, iirc.
