WayoftheMind has a nice post regarding a discussion between Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett and Harris. Pedro Timóteo adds additional insight which I agree with, but also think it's not just emotional investment but per the post below, a solid coping mechanism and perhaps even unethical(?) to try to remove.
On a biblical group on Facebook a few months ago, I posed the question to members: "What would you do if you received incontrovertible evidence that completely convinced you that God did not exist?" - some said it would bring them into deep depression, make them want to kill themselves, or that despite the evidence and being completely convinced, they would still believe in God.
One responder said that would be when he would start killing people and stealing, which was needless to say, alarming.
