Devout is when a person shows deep religious commitment; devoted is when a person loves something very deeply. Eg: Devout parents often worry about their children. A devoted husband will not look at another woman.
Devout, as has been pointed out already, is extremely religious, one needn't worry about any other description when using this word. For example, we can safely affirm that King Louis XIV of France was a devout Catholic. That says it all. Mr. Boucher is a devoted husband and father, meaning he is a faithful husband and a loving father. When starting out as an English student I had often confused "devoted" and "dedicated", they are similar, but not quite the same, either. A dedicated student is common enough, a devoted one studies too much for his own good.
