I'm all for stopping theists from believing in bullshit, but I think trying to convert them as they face death is a bit cruel! Bit late in the game for that, so a no from me.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
