What do you think Babylon in the book of Revelation is, and why?

Babylon in Revelation is the world empire of false religions that teach people every goofy idea and believe about God except the one Jesus Christ. And it's symbol is mother of harlots which is the worldwide welfare system that awards foodstamps and cash to unwed mothers and children and makes it very difficult for a poor married couple to get aid.

False religion;

Babylon was a most religious place. Evidence from excavations and from ancient texts points to the existence of more than 50 temples. The principal god of the imperial city was Marduk, called Merodach in the Bible. It has been suggested that Nimrod was deified as Marduk, but the opinions of scholars as to identifications of gods with specific humans vary. Triads of deities were also prominent in the Babylonian religion. One of these, made up of two gods and a goddess, was Sin (the moon-god), Shamash (the sun-god), and Ishtar; these were said to be the rulers of the zodiac. And still another triad was composed of the devils Labartu, Labasu, and Akhkhazu. Idolatry was everywhere in evidence. Babylon was indeed “a land of graven images,” filthy “dungy idols.”—Jer 50:1, 2, 38.
