The principle of , "alcohol does not discriminate".
An extreme example is a drunk driver is a drunk driver, Atheist,Christian,Muslim,Buddhist, etc etc.
All have the potential to cause road carnage and cause harm to to anyone else in the way.
So to illsutrtate, if there was an Atheist alcoholic, went to his/her fist AA meeting, saw and thought it's "God" stuff then went back out drinking and caused a fatal road accident on the way home.
Does Alcohol in liquid form "know" not to make that person drunk because of their beliefs? No.
The Lord's Prayer at the end of an AA meeting, frankly it ought not matter if one really thinks about it. Look at the wording.
Christians did not make up that prayer. People asked how to pray and a cool rock n roller at the time on some mountain who calls God a Father suggested it.
The opposite is some "jingle belled drunk" with a glass of liquor in one hand, a bottle in the other and Hail Marying to black-out!
How else does one if lucky enough eventually journey to AA?
