Religious persuasive techniques VS Advertising techniques

I'm writing an article on this topic. I have most of it done but am unsure if i missed anything. can think of any examples of how advertising in the media persuades like religion persuades?

When preaching religion,

When preaching religion, alot of the time people will show only the good side. Everlasting life, instant friends, God looking out for you etc. Only when you're in over your head does it become more about guilt and the fear of death.

Advertisements tend to only show the good side to their products too.

People on the streets shouting how God will kill you or send you to hell if you don't repent hardly attracts as many people. It's bad advertising.
