Research seems to indicate that the Antichrist will be a false christ (he is anti-how the Bible views Christ) and he will appeal to all the false religions of the world including apostate christianity.
He will follow the New Age "Mystery Babylon" belief system passed down fron ancient Babylon, tower of Babel, ect.
Also, I believe that at the point in time the "mark" will be mandatory to buy or sell, it will also require a pledge of allegiance to Lucifer, because (likely via "Project Bluebeam") the majority of the world will have been deceived into believing that Jesus was just "a" christ, and that his message for the "age of Picses" was misunderstood, and that the world teacher, the "christ", that will lead the world into the "New Age", the "age of Aquarius" (likely Maitreya) will bring peace and safety to the world, but in reality he will be Satanic (Luciferian).
