Well, of course starting an organized religion is not very compatible with
the Extropian principles, but from a purely pragmatic point of view I think
it would be a VERY good idea for those who want to protect themselves
against the current legal system when it is not cryonics friendly. It is a
fact that refusing to comply with existing laws is more accepted when the
refusal is explicitely justified with a (real of fake) religious belief.
Example: the sect whose members refuse to give blood transfusions to their
children even when it appears as the only way to save a life.
