How it's used
While often used in a religious context, this term can also be applied metaphorically to describe someone who is a dedicated fan or a staunch supporter of a particular ideology or public figure. It carries a slightly more formal or serious tone compared to words like 粉絲, which are used for casual entertainment interests.
