I think what causes so many people to stray or just leave is the fact that there are so many answerable unanswered questions. So sad.

I agree! I think somepeople get weird when you ask questions about their faith because they don't know the answers themselves and it will display their ignorance/insecurities. Also, some authority figures have a real issue with admitting they are wrong. I certainly don't hvae all of the answers about my faith, but I don't have a problem with someone asking! If I don't know I'll try to find out.
