To me you can only be a follower because almost nobody can live up to the expectations of the bible. Not saying there hasn't been a perfect christian (rofl). Just saying that I seriously doubt it. Especially since one can sin in thought alone.
devout (adj) - Devoted to religion or to the fulfillment of religious obligations.
It's true that no one could possibly live up to "Bible standards", especially considering the contradictions involved, but one can be devoted their interpretation of the religion, which would make them devout nonetheless, and sinning doesn't negate devotion.
