As a boy, I lived overseas, and due to an absence of Baptist churches attended services from various other denominations. Hearing how they all had different criteria for salvation (works vs faith, confessional vs personal prayer for expiation, and so on), and how they all claimed to have The Truth about the God I believed in, started the erosion of my own faith.
In your terms, I essentially restarted the context of discovery several times, and saw how it led to different results from my original faith.
Seems like a decent lens through which we might view the phenomenon of faith and its upholding.
