It's an extremely common thing for someone who's been a shit person in their lifetime to suddenly turn religious and "see the light" when they know their time's getting close, even though their entire life was filled with sin beforehand. It's not about any actual religious insight, it's just yet another attempt at avoiding responsibility up until the very end.
"Sure I've made everyone around me miserable and left the world in a worse state than I found it, and all for my own gain, but I got right with Jesus which means none of that counts so I'm still technically a good person"
