Does a word exist for a person who has lost faith?

I am looking for a single word that represents a person who lost faith, e.g. in religion, humanity, himself. The more general, the better.

Best Answer

if by losing faith you mean the person does not believe anymore, then the word that comes to mind is 'apostate' - someone who renounces/abandons his a religious or political belief or principle.
