Interesting question and discussion.
I probably would fake pray anyhow. It seems like a dying wish. Might as well.
We as atheists do tons of "religious" shit just to get by in society: Saying Merry Christmas, passively nodding to conversations about God or his creations, not openly criticizing the Church, playing along to the unintelligent nonsense theological babble of a Muslim friend (Women should stay at home, gays should be discouraged, etc etc).... so why not this?
