Apparently there was an antitheist comedian who woke up after a coma with the ability to tell jokes that were funny.It soon wore off.

I have heard of that happening to people before, it is rare but not unknown.

When my husband came out of the coma he had been in for a few weeks after his brain haemorrhage in 2006, he claimed he had an experience, which convinced him beyond all doubt that no god or afterlife exists.

I suspect that you are thinking of foreign accent syndrome, which isn't quite the same thing.
Many people emerge from comas having had experiences which convince them that God does exist, but experiences in comas, however vivid to the person, prove nothing objectively.

I wasn't thinking of that syndrome. I never claimed my husband's experience, whilst in a coma, proved anything at all.

Indeed you didn't but did it convince your husband. I think NDEs & what we see if in a coma are dreams and dreams are made up of stuff we have in our heads. They usually happen just before waking or coming out of coma.

It just served to underline my husband's conviction that no god or afterlife exists.
