Hi
I do not think that Buddha was talking only about Religions and his statement directly relates to movements like AA. A organization's doctrine and teachings has to make sense to be useful to people. Slogans like "fake it until you make it" hide the fact that some suggestions simply should not be taken.
Also most of what is written in the Foundations comes from outside sources, this stuff did not just pop into the Founders heads, trails and errors from the Oxford Group contributed to AA. Buddha's statement is just as relevant as any of the other imported ideas in AA.
