Really, it comes down to the kind of person that is participating in the faith. If the person is (I'm wanting to say "weak," but that's not the right word...) than they will most likely stay in the religion because they need something to believe... to keep their mind off of dying, and such (i.e. Heaven). If the person is more (I'm wanting to say "a free thinker," but that isn't quite right, either) than they will most likely sway in the direction of atheism or agnosticism.
