I'm theist, but my beliefs specifically tell me to not convert, so I'd have to say no, painful and sad as it might be. Besides, becoming a martyr would be kinda cool... Although the preferable death would be standing waist-deep in the bodies of your enemies while swinging a ridiculously good-looking sword around. Boromir comes to mind. That is cool.
But If one thinks about it, depending on what religion a theist is a part of, he/she has more reason to not convert than an athiest. A theist would be afraid of God for the decisions he/she would make, but what reason does an atheist have not to convert to save his/her life, the one they'd never get to relive? Not any good, logical reason, I'd have to say. And indeed, unless there is a better deal waiting on the "other side", it would be irrational to not save your skin by converting.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
