Frank Walker was a godless man. He saw no use in worshipping a higher power. However, he did see the power of religion and the way it could take hold over grand congregations. Perhaps that was why he chose to worship the devil, so long as it meant a frolic with Bacchus in the woods, bonfires, wild sex with naked maidens, and tumultuous music.
