"Babylon the Great" leads people away from true worship

  1

Leviticus 20:6
And the soul that turneth unto them that have
familiar spirits, and unto the wizards,
to play the harlot after them,
I will even set my face against that soul,
and will cut him off from among his people.

  2

Exodus 34:15, 16
lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land,
and they play the harlot after their gods,
and sacrifice unto their gods,
and one call thee and thou eat of his sacrifice;
16 and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons,
and their daughters play the harlot
after their gods,
and make thy sons play the harlot after their gods.

  3

Matthew 15:9
But in vain do they worship me,
Teaching as their doctrines the precepts of men.

  4

James 4:4
Ye adulteresses, know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God?
Whosoever therefore would be a friend of the world
maketh himself an enemy of God.

False Religion is Identified by:

Like ancient Babylon, leading people away from true worship.
Their use of Images and Beliefs such as the Trinity and
the immortality of the soul and blending their worship with
love for the world is considered spiritual prostitution by God.
Its close involvement with world's political leaders.
