I agree the quote "...we're not going to talk about spirituality and religion, although I will tell you that I have achieved a deathbed conversion... I just bought a Macintosh." does sound as though he is saying that doesn't follow a particular religion. I did a search to see if I could find more info about his beliefs but I couldn't really find anything conclusive. I can tell you that:

• His Cancer Update page (kind of like a blog) never mentioned religion. (http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/news/index.html and http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/shortsummary.html)
  
• 3waystolive.com (http://www.3waystolive.com/2007/10/randy-pausch-and-the-meaning-of-life.html) is convinced he was not a Christian.
• The Christian Critical Thinker thought Christ was missing from Randy's last lecture. (http://www.thechristiancriticalthinker.com/2008/04/lecture-that-is-sweeping-nation.html)
• In an interview with Diane Sawyer, he said his father was the "most christian" man he ever met--his father was a Presbyterian. But Randy did not want to talk about his own religion--he wanted to keep it private. You can watch the interview here: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=4626595
• He does know the Serenity Prayer.
  

I'm sorry I couldn't find you more info. While Randy doesn't talk about religion, it doesn't necessarily mean that he doesn't believe God, Jesus or another religion. Of course it could also mean he's an atheist.
