You are misinformed about the 'deathbed conversion." From the Westmisnter Abbey website:

It would have been unfortunate if anything had occurred to give weight and currency to the foolish notion which some have diligently propagated, but for which Mr Darwin was not responsible, that there is a necessary conflict between a knowledge of Nature and a belief in God…”. A later, widely believed, rumour of a “deathbed conversion” to Christianity was denied by his daughter, who was actually present at his death. A bronze memorial, with a life-sized relief bust, was erected by his family in the north choir aisle, near to the grave, in 1888. The sculptor was Sir J.E. Boehm. The inscription just says simply “DARWIN”.

He's been told before by many people and with countless references, including creationist websites. He is either too arrogant or too much of a coward (or both) to admit that he was wrong, so he just continues to repeat the lie.
