These are issues that Atheists have to deal with before they can go far in AA.
With due respect, I disagree. One CAN choose to ignore anything that you don't like or agree with.
"Take what you need and leave the rest" is just as important a slogan as any other in the program. Maybe even more so!

I've never seen ANY organization that I can agree with 100%.
Nor a person either!
That's because we are all individuals. And every organization is made up of individuals. And the organization's literature is written by individuals.
And all individuals are flawed -- including you and me.

Why would you think you would, or should, agree with AA 100%?
And if you didn't think that, why are you so adament about it being so wrong? You will NEVER agree with any one all of the time, so, AA is no different.

In the end, you've made your point. AA is not nice to atheists. OK. We've heard it.

The question still remains; what suggestions for an atheist in AA.
We know to take what they say about atheists with a grain of salt.
Anything else?

Shalom!
