I also have come to think that most doubt arises from sources other than philosophical reflection (which is distinct from saying that it is non-rational). I think this is true whatever side of an issue you take. More people begin to seriously doubt theism because they go through a crisis in their lives than because they read a book by JL Mackie; but also more atheists start to wonder whether there may be a God after all because they have a religious experience rather than reading one of Fesser's books. (The converse, however, does happen too, of course.)
I bring this up because I think philosophically minded people frequently have a difficult time being honest with themselves about this element of their psychology. They find themselves struggling with doubt so they double-down on reading arguments. Really, the issue is that their daughter was just diagnosed with cancer or they are frustrated for failing to overcome a protracted habit of sin or, for the atheist, a longing to be loved begins to be met by a Christian community or a good priest. I think being honest about these diverse motivations for why we think what we think can only make us better philosophers.
