You cannot prove or disprove the existence of a god(s). This is futile. You can only evaluate the available evidence and come to your own conclusion. So continue to evaluate the evidence. Read the Bible critically. Read scientific books critically. Formulate a body of evidence, and see where that points you. The worst way to defend your position is to use someone else's opinions/thoughts. It is easy to do when you have your own.
I listened to This American Life the other day called "Death and Taxes." There was a hospice nurse on there giving her opinions. There are certain things that all patients go through in the process of dying. I am willing to go out on a limb and say the person you talked to had a bit of confirmation bias. She sees religious patients go through death rattle, and it is part of the process, then sees a non-religious patient go through the same thing, and it's a struggle. Bottom line---doesn't it strike you as ridiculous that ALL religious patients in hospice, especially the younger ones, aren't ever afraid of death?

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
