Though
@avneet_paul I believe I am devout in STRICT adherence to values of humanity, not ritual & orthopraxy (big word) LOL@CharmianNeary2 replies 1 retweet 11 likes -

that's my kind of devoutness. But by devout my mental image is of a Jihadist - poles apart from the real you.

Pet peeve: media too often use "devout Muslim" = orthopraxy. It's not! To me, it's inner commitment to humanity

I have argued with ppl abt the meaning of 'devout.' It doesn't mean 'orthodox' & 'conforming.' It means 'devotion to.'

I think this important distinction tho I am not keen on people being devoted to god-beliefs or faith as a general rule!
