Actualy the religious aspects are covered in the "chapter to the agnostic" in the AA book something about indulging in windy arguments. There's also the bit about the scientists not wishing to prove his experiment wrong. The thing is - the AA book was born of long suffering and many many alcholics dying attempting to think thier way around this illness. Take the washingtonians pre AA - 100,000 of them died as the result of NOT having the AA traditions. So there is a great deal more to the AA program than a cursory dismissal of low bottom drunks there's also the twelve steps but clearly those havn't been adressed yet.
Pre AA most literature written about alchohilcs by people who had no knowledge of the illness, and thats stll true today. so be careful what you embrace so readily as your solution. Denile is not a river in egypt - the very nature of this illness is that it tells you your not an alcoholic.
Bottom line is - stick with the winners because there are a lot of losers out there who "cannot or will not compleatly give themselves to this simple program" BB p58.
