666 is simply a code that the author of The Book of Revelations, John of Patmos, employed to refer to the Roman Emperor Nero in an attempt to avoid persecution. Historical evidence shows that there were most likely two different Johns of Patmos and that the second may have been his son.
If more people would have known this when Crowley was alive, he might have had a more difficult time recruiting and glomming on to wealthy eccentrics, but then again, sex sells, since it is, in many cases, a taboo in and of itself.
