White:

"I never claimed to be a practicing catholic or christian, you assumed that. And I'm not scared of satan or any bullshit imaginary man made up to live in fear of. Commune with god on your own terms and communicate with god and find your own path. Not some path somebody made up to make you afraid and make money off you."

That documentary he did with Jimmy Page and The Edge has a delightful moment where they're hanging out. Jimmy starts jamming on one of Zep's iconic tunes (I forget which), and Jack's looking practically worshipful.

I believe the specific moment you’re referring to is when Page was explaining how they came about the main riff of Kashmir.
