This is what I understand.

1. Are Muslims more devout than people of other faiths?
Since the word 'devout' means to be deeply devoted to a religion or belief system, there's no need to mention 'religion.'

2. Are Muslims more devoted to their religion than people of other faiths?
'Devoted' means to be committed to someone or something through love and loyalty. The word 'religion' is necessary since it doesn't specify what exactly Muslims are devoted to.

Please let me know if I understand it.
You've got it right. 👍

Thank you. I'm still confused about 'other faiths' and any other faiths'.

"Are Muslims more devout than people of (any) other faiths?"

I'd really appreciate some help here too.
 
@Ashraful Haque "Are Muslims more devout than people of other faiths?" is okay with me, but apparently not everybody agrees.
