I wonder if Howard himself was not responsible for the title. After all, it was published after his death, not to mention the fact that a lot of his work has been modified since the 1960s, I believe.
"In a less scientific age, he would have been a devil-worshipper, a partaker in the abominations of the Black Mass; or would have given himself to the study and practice of sorcery. His was a religious soul that had failed to find good in the scheme of things; and lacking it, was impelled to make of evil itself an object of secret reverence."

~ Clark Ashton Smith, "The Devotee of Evil"
