Many people shed off their faith, not just in religion but also many other long-time faith held convictions. For them, some fundamental particular sets of beliefs don't work any more.
In my experience, I have learned that when one starts studying something, there is no stopping a deluge of questions until the point in which that particular curiosity is satisfied.
I am not surprised that the faith of somebody who wants to understand the resurrection, which in my mind is an event that cannot be demonstrated, would eventually be demolished.
But going even further, Jesus disciples had doubts. I guess some people just don't have faith or lost it while thinking too much on issues that are impossible to prove. I still ask questions but I remember what it was for me not to have faith. Now I appreciate faith and am grateful to believe because it is a gift of God.
