On the subject of deathbed conversions or of atheists suddenly crying out for god, I frankly don't buy it. This notion appears to be a rather unpleasant bit of schadenfreude fantasy in which people too "arrogant" to believe in their particular and specific superstition are "brought low" by the agony and fear of impending doom.
I've heard of plenty of people calling out for their mothers in their death throws, not many people calling out for a long abandoned deity.
