An acquaintance once told me that he lost his faith after watching the first Dan brown movie. I told him it was fiction. He said “Yeah, but still...”. He was offended when I suggested that his faith may not have been that solid to begin with.

It is more likely that he needed to rationalize abandoning his faith years before; that is what I find when dealing with people like that. When the homosexual scandal was in the news every day ten years ago, I had people who hadn’t been to Mass in 20 years tell me this was why; it was a convenient excuse for people looking to explain their lack of any faith at all.
