It is hard to measure but as you saw it had been showed that people with strong opinions will not change them. And personally I do not get it how you can get a sincere belief just because your life is threatened.
Also there has been a lot of claims about famous atheists changing there ind at death bead but when you look at the claims in more detail you almost always find that they are wrong.

The brain stop functioning and the body decomposes. What do non-atheists believe happens when an insect dies?
