I would imagine there is no point in making people believers before they die if you were a god who will get your attention in the end any way, but if you were a priest greedy for converts to fill his coffers or provide man power, then it make perfect sense.

that sounds like a good message to put out if you are such a priest (or any other preacher type etc)
