It could be that your relative did not ignore the doubts, it could be that he saw his doubts as not worthy of worry anymore.
I don't think it was that his doubts were not "worthy of worry" anymore. It's far more likely that he read a bunch of one sided, inaccurate quips and it pacified him, because it told him exactly what he wanted to hear.

To clarify: I think there is a big difference in someone keeping their faith because it feels right to them, and someone keeping their faith because they read inaccurate books like Strobel's, and assume that they are getting a true and accurate account of the presence of a divine, Christian god.
