curious about the interaction between Increasing Devotion and Cathars' Crusade when the five tokens come out do the tokens receive the +1/+1 counters making all five of them into 6/6 creatures or does the cathars' ability only activate for creatures already out?

Rules questions should be asked in the Q&A.
First, Cathars' Crusade is a triggered ability, so it triggers. "Activate" is only used in reference to activated abilities. Triggering and activating are different processes.
Cathars' Crusade 's ability triggers whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control. That means the creature is already on the battlefield by the time the ability hits the stack. When the ability resolves, it puts a counter on every creature you control, including the one that triggered the ability.
tl;dr: All told, you get five 6/6 creatures and five +1/+1 counters on all your other creatures.

Is cases like this, all the creatures are entering and triggering Cathars' Crusade simultaneously. They all see each other and thus will all be 6/6s.
Also, in the future, the MTG Q&A section is the best place for rules questions.
