One does not have to be a god praiser to be a good sponsor. One only has to have a certain amount of sober time and a good knowledge of the 12 steps as a result of working them and living by them for a while. Agnostics and atheists in the fellowship are not second class citizens. We don't have to sing praises to some god to be able to help someone.
I'm guessing you didn't mean that to be offensive,
but it is. There are many atheists and agnostics in the fellowship who have good sobriety. Perhaps we can be better sponsors to those who do not believe in god than someone who will insist that they "come to believe."
