There are many possible outcomes. Some theists loose their faith when they go through tragedy or hardship, others have their faith strengthened by it. Some loose it while on the island but regain it when rescued. Others loose it forever. There are not enough statistics on the matter to even say which outcome would be the most likely.
A 'loose' faith is never good.

Is it desert island, or deserted island? You wouldn't make it long in a desert

The English phrase is desert island - though granted it does not make any sense!

I always preferred dessert island... Much more inviting and you're guaranteed never to go hungry.

Doesn't make any sense?

It's mostly sand, not many trees (palm trees maybe), and little water.

Sounds like a desert to me.

It refers more to the lack of people than lack of vegetation.
