Above is a good point. In 17, moreover, the angel said the beast and the 10 kings hate the prostitute (Babylon).

If there is a religious Babylon ..it would probably be Catholics. Not sure.

I don't think I've seen a definite answer to what it will worship, but since the beast carries it, their religions could very well be the same until the beast hates her.
We might be able to glean some info on that from history. The year 70 A.D. had an event where the Jews revolted against the Romans due to heavy taxation, and it led to the temple and city destructions. And the Roman soldiers apparently then brought sacrifices including a pig and worshipped their gods there. This was, as everybody knows, after the Babylonian Exile. If there is a parallel with this event, it could be that Jerusalem representing Babylon is because believers (perhaps Israelis and Gentiles alike) are given a high position in Babylon (US) just like ancient Jews were well treated during their exile, and afterwards, just as Babylon was defeated by Darius of Media and Cyrus of Persia, they (again US) will be destroyed by her enemies, and the believers (people of Zion) dwelling in Babylon will have heard from prophets that Babylon will be taken, but since they won't believe it, they will instead kill the prophets warning to flee out of Babylon (again US).
