What does the Bible say about false religion?

Answered in 65 sources

The Bible identifies false religion as wicked and deceptive, often likening it to a harlot that corrupts and leads people away from the truth of the gospel.

In Revelation 17, false religion is portrayed as 'Mystery Babylon,' a symbol of spiritual adultery and wickedness that misleads people on a grand scale. This chapter illustrates how false religions appeal to human desires rather than adhering to the truth of God's Word. As shown in the text, false religion is described using strong imagery, emphasizing its corrupt nature and the judgment it deserves. The nature of false religion inherently conflicts with the holiness of God, portraying itself as righteous while leading souls away from true salvation in Christ.
