In fact all the replies you got related to marketing considerations because your comment was about marketing considerations. From that point of view, it had some obvious flaws, which people pointed out.
Do you actually want to discuss whether or not cryonics is a religion (or some improved formulation of that question)?
I think the question that should be asked is whether cryonics is a waste of hope, as many religions are, or if it's viable (I'm still not sure if it would work, but it does seem plausible that it would)
That question should be asked, not flippantly implied. The comment linked above was targeted at pride, so it is no surprise that so many replied. Cryonics is a thing believed by many here, and if you take pot shots, the end result is clear.
Your phrasing is interesting, and phrasing like that is probably one of the factors contributing to the cryonics<==>afterlife for transhumanists association many people hold.
