The word 'Devoted' is an adjective which means giving someone or something a lot of love and attention. ๐Ÿงถ For example, Dr. Efosa was devoted to her sister.  However, using the word "Devoted" to describe someone who is deeply religious or has a very strong belief in a religion is a misuse of semantics (Meaning)  e.g.  ๐Ÿ“Œ Mr. Sam is a devoted Christian (inappropriate)  ๐Ÿ“Œ Mr. Sam is a devout Christian(appropriate)      ๐Ÿ“Œ Mr. Ibrahim is a devoted Muslim (inappropriate) ๐Ÿ“Œ Mr. Ibrahim is a devout Muslim (appropriate)                                                "Devout" is appropriate in a Religious context Look up the two words in any lexicon to know the difference. ๐Ÿงถ Thanks to FacEnglish.
