"Babylon the Great" leads people away from true worship

Leviticus 20:6
"As for the person who turns to the
spirit mediums and the fortune-tellers
so as to commit spiritual prostitution with them,
I will certainly turn against that person
and cut him off from his people".

Exodus 34:15, 16
Be careful not to make a covenant
with the inhabitants of the land,
because when they prostitute themselves to their gods
and sacrifice to their gods, someone will invite you
and you will eat from his sacrifice.
16 Then you will surely take some of their daughters
for your sons, and their daughters will prostitute themselves
to their gods and cause your son
to prostitute themselves to their gods.

Matthew 15:9
It is in vain that they keep worshipping me,
for they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”

James 4:4
Adulteresses, do you not know that
friendship with the world is enmity with God?
Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world
is making 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.
