I wonder what the Athiest to *Insert_Religion_with_a_higher_power_here* ratio is when nearing death. I could imagine it being high, right now many could careless, but when youre sitting in a hospital bed staring at death, the "piece of mind" of a heaven/after life sure seems good.

It would be because you wouldn't be as rational. The funny thing about the human mind is that you can know 1+1=2, but when pushed to the extreme as your only solution you can hope it's 3. It's part of the human experience... all we know and will ever know is life, we can't even begin to comprehend death.
