Stephen Hawking is considered to be a member of the modern Illuminati...?

The Illuminati are those who are considered to have knowledge pertaining to the existence of "God" that most people do not have. Now, Stephen Hawking is an Atheist and has said on many occasions in the past the "Heaven" is a fairy tale. Why don't people blatantly see that there is no God, no Heaven, no Hell, and a member of the Illuminati has said it a million times over? Are people REALLY that blind to everything outside their faith?
