This is the 'No atheists in foxholes' fallacy. Many theists see this as the ultimate test: "...but what about when you're going to die? Won't you let your fear rule your thinking?!". The answer is that some will and some won't. Fear is a powerful emotion.

I'd add that using this tactic amounts to coercion under duress. Hardly a legally responsible way for religions to gather followers...
