Epilepsy is a generic term used to define a spectrum of illnesses where convulsions, or non convulsive states occur to a person, or even an animal. For me personally to answer your question directly, you would need to define your term: "religious people". So the best I can tell you is I have a mild "seizure disorder" (as it is likely to be defined in an English thesis). Concerning religion, in the Gospel of Jesus Christ is pure religion accomplished upon the Earth, for it is the power of God unto salvation to as many as shall believe. In this hearing, and by this work are the fatherless and widow visited in their afflictions, not that they might receive that which perishes with the using, but that the fatherless might receive an Everlasting Father and the widow an Everlasting Husband. Thus, with or without infirmities, we have great hope. And as for having religion and an infirmity, I shall glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Amen

The English term “epilepsy” is derived from the Greek word e·pi·le·psi′a, meaning literally “seizure.”
A chronic disease of the central nervous system manifested in convulsions or in impairment or loss of consciousness, and perhaps both. This disorder is linked with abnormal activity of the brain. A severely convulsive epileptic fit accompanied by unconsciousness is called grand mal, whereas the mild form, attacks of which are of very brief duration, is termed petit mal, these being two principal types of epilepsy. An epileptic is a person afflicted with epilepsy.
On the day following the transfiguration, Jesus Christ healed an epileptic that his disciples had been unable to cure. (Mt 17:14-20) From his childhood this boy had a “speechless and deaf spirit” that, among other things, periodically threw him into convulsions; these were accompanied by foaming at the mouth. Jesus rebuked the demon, it came out, and the boy was thus healed.—Mr 9:14-29; Lu 9:37-43.
Though demon activity was associated with epileptic symptoms in this particular case, epilepsy normally has natural causes, and the Scriptures do not imply that it is generally caused by demon possession. Rather, Matthew (4:24) reports that people brought Jesus ailing ones including “demon-possessed and epileptic” persons, drawing a distinction between these two types of individuals cured by Christ.

I suppose what makes a devout enjoy precise is that it was once triggered by means of whatever supernatural. But I suppose the query you imply to invite is how we will KNOW whether or not a devout enjoy is precise or no longer. That, I'm no longer certain. I think if the devout enjoy imparted a few form of skills that you simply could not have identified or else, and it became out to be correct, that is a well rationale for supposing that it was once typically precise. But if a "devout enjoy" is just a few form of emotion, I do not suppose there is any method to inform. Lots of matters can motive us to have emotional reviews.
