I found it interesting too.  I like the distinction at the end between
type-A Athiests (who, because of their nature, were not
indoctrinatable into religion in the first place) and type-B Athiests
(who are indoctrinatable, but for whatever reason their most recent
indoctrination was into Athiesm).  Cryonics conflicts with the burial
customs of many (but not all) religions, so the same distinction seems
likely to hold among cryonicists as well.  His point was that you have
to do different things to recruit and retain people from these two
different groups.  If only we had a quick behavioral test to figure
out which group they were in.
