When you're a little kid you believe what your parents tell you and so if you are raised in a certain religion but once you hit the age of say 16 or so and you start to think for yourself and start to no longer believe, can you really claim that that person "lost their faith"?
Because is it even really faith to begin with if its just something you were taught as a child and your mind was too immature to think otherwise?
Is it fair to call someone a fallen-away christain in this case?
I honestly dont know the answer to this and wondering how others view it.

That is why many believe only in adult baptism...the choice has to be personal not made for them..

Its probably a good thing to reevaluate your beliefs. Regardless of how you end up. Maybe your not really religious unless you do. So if you decided on the negative, you should be no less well off than those who never did make up their own mind.

Kind of. I myself have experienced this. I would say you lack faith less then before but once youre a beliver you are always a believer.

Faith is the absence of thought and logic. When someone starts thinking for themselves they will lose the tendency to believe that nonsense is reality.

I think you have to answer that question for yourself
