(See ANATHEMA).
Devotee, "in the primary sense of the word, means a person wholly given up to acts of piety and devotion; but it is usually understood, in a bad sense, to denote a bigot or superstitious person — one addicted to excessive and self-imposed religious exercises." — Buck, Theol. Dictionary, s.v.
