The interesting part to me is what people really believe. You can "go back to religion" but that doesn't mean you actually do believe any of the stuff. But just saying you do is enough to get back into religious social circles and traditions you may miss, and you may convince yourself enough to get back your warm fuzzies.
I'm just guessing. For someone who was indoctrinated, that part of their brain probably keeps on fighting them even after they see through religion logically. It may well emotionally manipulate them back into it (as may other people...). It may use the altered feelings, maybe the emotional reaction to the loss of religion, as "evidence" that the religion was actually true all along.
