Sure, bring them back after they realize heaven and hell are bullshit.

Electrical activity in dead brains is just chemical potentials that take a while to break down. No one, ever, has actually come back from actual death.

This isn't really about coming back but about how long it takes to completely go

As long as you keep moving the bar of actual death. Heart stop, 'brain death' people have come back from, rotting in the grave, not so much.
