I agree. It can be easy to be mad at AA but that doesnt really help us become sober.

As for being disparaging against people with secular beliefs.. that kind of goes without saying. If the program is about God then of course secularism will be criticized, just as it would be in any church or mosque. I'm a vegetarian and I sometimes catch myself wanting others to eat less meat. I don't necessarily think I'm disparaging against meat eaters though..

Really, the more I think about it.. if you're an atheist then theres no possible way you can follow the program unless you tailor it. But then its really not the same program, and its the responsibility of AAers to inform secularists that AA is a religious program. If they did there would be a LOT less confusion.
