To answer your question though, many people hold on to their faith or beliefs because it is how they define themselves.
It's not merely a matter of truth. When your identity is being challenged it is a much different animal than finding out zebras are black with white stripes instead of white with black white ones.
I know several atheists that even if they were presented with overwhelming evidence and regarded it as the truth, would not convert and subscribe to Christianity based on other objections (reasons vary).
It's not merely a matter of whether you believe something to be true or not.
