Are there novels by Jewish writers whose alienated Jewish protagonist ends up abandoning faith in God?

Yes.

Explanation:

The one that immediately comes to mind is Night by Elie Wiesel, a piece of Holocaust literature.

I know of a book that is more or less the opposite of this, too: Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl, also Holocaust literature.

Others might have more input. I would expect to find more of what you're looking for in books about the Holocaust.
