    "Rome, the greatest and longest-lived human world-ruling empire, assimilated religions from her many conquered territories. All these religions had commonalities, for they all came from Babylon. These practices infiltrated and overcame the professing Christian Church, which later came to be dominated by Rome itself. Many pagan religions had mother and child worship, whether Devaki and Krishna (India), Isis and Horus (Egypt), Venus or Fortuna and Jupiter (Rome), etc. Each nation gave different names to essentially the same god or goddess."

    These are mythological entities that the Ancient People used to think were 'real', right?

    I think it was a misunderstanding. It's supposed to be the whore of babble on, not the whore of Babylon. It's a warning about Trump, and the fake fundie Christians.

    Revelation 17:5-6 "On her forehead was written a name, which is a mystery, 'Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth.' I saw that the woman was drunk on the blood of the holy ones and on the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. When I saw her I was greatly amazed."

    Jeremiah 2:13-3:25, Israel was once faithful (2:17) then turned to harlotry (2:20) as a wife departing from her husband (3:20) but is promised restoration in the end if they repent (3:14-18).

    In Ezekiel 16, God entered into Covenant with Jerusalem (16:8), but Jerusalem played the harlot (16:15) and yet is finally restored for the sake of the Covenant (16:60-62)

    This is all very interesting, and expands the mind. Where I was brought up, the Whore of Babylon (not a phrase that tripped often off our lips, fair play), was, I think, the title for the Church of Rome.

    In Hosea 2, speaking of the house of Israel, we find that it was once faithful (2:14-15), that it then played the harlot (2:5), and that it will be restored in the end (2:19-23).

    Nope.. Throughout the Old and New Testament Israel is referred to as whore or harlot because she went astray and went a-whoring after false gods.

    There are many, many verses to choose from.
