Atheist
Christopher Hitchens often warned that after he was dead there would be
many Christians (Liars for Jesus) who would declare that he had
denounced atheism and was contemplating the idea that Christianity was
the way to go.
Sure enough, in 2016, Larry Taunton wrote a whole book on the subject (The Faith of Christopher Hitchens). He claimed that Hitchens was a good friend who, at the time of his death, was re-evaluating his religious options and considering the idea that maybe god existed.

Larry Taunton's behaviour is even more pathetic than it seems when you first hear this story because he isn't really trying to make a point about Christopher Hitchens at all. Instead he is doing nothing more than to pompously boost his own ego. He is actually saying,
"Look at me everybody. Look at me and marvel at my stupendous brilliance. I found the most famous atheist on the planet; befriended him; spoke with him; reasoned with him; and finally, in those last few days, convinced him that I was right and he was wrong. That's how great I am. I practically converted the world's most famous atheist all on my own because I am that good. Look at me again. Can you not see that I am truly wonderful and a joy to behold."
