The number of the beast isn't 666. That was a mistranslation.
As of May 4 2005, it has be determined that 616 is the true number of the beast. A tiny fragment of 1,500-year-old papyrus was written in Greek, the original language of the New Testament, and contained a key passage from the Book of Revelation.

Revelation 13:18 = Here is where wisdom comes in: Let the one that has intelligence calculate the number of the wild beast, for it is a man’s number; and its number is six hundred and sixty-six.
In the Scriptures, certain numbers have symbolic significance. The number seven, for example, is often used to symbolize that which is complete, or perfect, in God’s eyes.
Six is one short of seven. Would it not be a fitting symbol of something imperfect, or defective, in God’s eyes?
Moreover, six repeated three times, as 666, powerfully stresses that imperfection. That this is the correct view is supported by the fact that 666 is “a human number,” as we have considered. Thus, the beast’s record, its “human number,” and the number 666 itself all point to one unmistakable conclusion—gross shortcoming and failure in the eyes of Jehovah.

The number 666 IS the mark of the beast - and Satan IS the beast! He's the 'father of lies' and 'the author of sin'.

People are religious, whether they think they are or not. They flock to whatever they want that makes them feel important. Those who think that they are being rebellious to the establishment think it's cool to have 888 on things. They are likely to think the the upside down cross is something Satanic. When all it is is Peter's cross.
People are so silly, and so quick to form opinions that they do not look where they are going.

The beast is the antichrist, the incarnation of Satan.

Because they don't take the time to actually read the bible. You're correct, the number refers to Nero, and Rome.
