Together with his dad, Frank was a key architect of the so-called Christian Right in the US, mobilizing millions of born-again Christians to support conservative causes and oppose liberal causes, such as abortion and homosexuality. Frank since renounced his part in the creation of the Religious Right, and converted to Orthodox Christianity.
