If by 'faith' (per the parent) you mean religious faith, sure it can. Plenty of people have stopped believing in a god, started believing in a god, or come to a new understanding of their god.
Maybe what you mean is 'blind faith', i.e., a rejection of evidence contrary to what you want to believe, to which I will again point out is not unique to religion, by pointing to politics, and the quote of our past president "what you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening", and the millions willing to accept that.
