Yes — pagan idolatrous religion began at the Tower of Babel, after the Flood, when humanity gathered under Nimrod instead of scattering as God commanded.
Les Feldick teaches that every pagan religion, every form of idolatry, and every mythological system has its roots at the Tower of Babel. There, under Nimrod, a religious system was set up to usurp the throne of heaven. God scattered the people from Babel, and paganism then permeated the whole human race.
Genesis 11:1-9 — This is the biblical account of the Tower of Babel, where humanity gathered in Shinar and God scattered them — the event Les identifies as the origin of all pagan religions.
Genesis 10:8-10 — This passage names Nimrod and says the beginning of his kingdom was Babel in the land of Shinar, connecting him to the site where idolatrous religion began.
Scripture records that after the Flood the whole earth was of one language and one speech, and as people journeyed from the east they found a plain in the land of Shinar and dwelt there (Genesis 11:1-2). There they decided to build a city and a tower whose top might reach unto heaven, making a name for themselves so they would not be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth (Genesis 11:3-4). The LORD came down, confounded their language, and scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; the city was named Babel (Genesis 11:5-9). The Scripture also introduces Nimrod as a mighty hunter before the LORD, whose kingdom began at Babel and included Erech, Accad, and Calneh in the land of Shinar (Genesis 10:8-10). This is the only historical record of the site and events that mark the beginning of idolatrous religion.
Les Feldick places the origin of every pagan and idolatrous religion at the Tower of Babel. He explains that after the Flood, instead of scattering and repopulating the earth as God instructed, the people stayed in the Euphrates/Mesopotamia area and gathered under Nimrod at the Tower of Babel. This was not merely building a tower of brick and pitch; Nimrod was setting up a religious system that would usurp the very throne room of heaven (Clip 6). Everything contrary to the one-God concept of Scripture has its roots and beginnings there — all Eastern religions, all idolatry, all mythology (Clip 1). The introduction of idolatry took place at Babel, and from there paganism permeated the whole human race (Clip 2). By Abraham's day, about two hundred years later, the entire known human race was steeped in idolatry and mythology (Clip 7). Les also connects this to the present: every cult and occultic religion coming on the scene today has its roots back at the Tower of Babel (Clip 5), and the New Age movement is bringing the world right back under the same idolatry that began there (Clip 6).
Les says the Tower of Babel took place in the area of the Euphrates in Mesopotamia, in the valley of Shinar, after the Flood. The people did not scatter as God instructed, but gathered there under Nimrod.
Les describes Nimrod as a hunter of men and the first world's totalitarian despot. He brought the people to the Tower of Babel to set up a religion that would usurp the very throne room of heaven — that is where the beginning of all pagan idolatry lies.
Les shows that God's instruction was to repopulate and scatter around the world, but the people rebelled and stayed together. God scattered them from the Tower of Babel, and after that, idolatry had taken over the human race.
Yes, according to Les. Every false religion, cult, and idolatrous mythological religion has its roots at the Tower of Babel. He also sees the New Age movement as bringing the world right back under the same idolatry that began there.

And I said, now wait a minute. I said, then who pays his salary? Well, she said, the government. See, so there you are. The government supports that particular denomination, and out of that comes the salaries. Well, you see, this was the very nature of the thing when our forefathers left Europe and took sale for America is that they wanted to come out from under that big hand of the government who…

Nimrod's Religion at Babel
Les explains that Nimrod set up a religious system at Babel intended to usurp the throne of heaven — this is where the beginning of all pagan idolatry lies.
Idolatry Saturated the World by Abraham
By Abraham's day, the whole known human race was steeped in idolatry and mythology, all stemming from the Tower of Babel.
Genesis 11:1-9: And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Records the Tower of Babel event — humanity's gathering in Shinar and God's scattering, the historical origin of pagan religion.
Genesis 10:8-10: And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
Names Nimrod and states the beginning of his kingdom was Babel in the land of Shinar.
According to Les Feldick, pagan idolatrous religion began at the Tower of Babel after the Flood, when humanity gathered under Nimrod in the land of Shinar instead of scattering as God commanded. Every pagan religion, idolatry, and mythology has its roots there.
Les teaches that Nimrod was setting up more than a building project — he was establishing a religious system that would usurp the very throne room of heaven. That is where the beginning of all pagan idolatry lies.
Yes. Les says every cult and occultic religion coming on the scene today has its roots back at the Tower of Babel, and the New Age movement is bringing the world back under the same idolatry.
