Helping someone with faith issues?

If someone is having an issue with their faith, is it okay to convince them to lose their faith if they are having real struggles? My friend is a Christian, and she grew up in an extremely religious household. She asks me for advice occasionally on what to believe, part of me wants to just free her of the constriction that religion brings. Yet, another part of me feels like I shouldn't push it. However, she is on the verge to Atheism already...advice?
