How does Satan influence people through worldly religion?

Answered in 1 source

Satan influences people through deception, making them believe they are serving God while following false teachings.

Satan's influence operates subtly, often leading individuals to adhere to religions that appear aligned with God but are, in fact, contrary to His truth. As detailed in Revelation 17, the great whore symbolizes these deceptive practices. Individuals may follow religious traditions that seem righteous but may actually be rooted in the 'flesh' and the anti-Christ spirit, as seen with the Pharisees whom Jesus rebuked. They operate under a false zeal thinking they serve God, as Paul once did, while genuinely being led astray from the gospel of grace. Recognizing this influence is essential for believers to pursue true worship and guard against the leaven of false doctrine.
