Is there a general word that means "follower of religion"follower of religion?

I'm looking for an analog to the words demonymdemonym and ethnonymethnonym, but that relates to religion/faith instead of geography and ethnicity.

The closest I've found is the word theonymtheonym at the Wikipedia page on -onym endings here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-onym-onym endings
