I still don't. According to Webster's:

: not spiritual : of or relating to the physical world and not the spiritual world

: not religious


I'm afraid I don't see how step 3 can work with this. I tried for years. In retrospect, I worked around it and stopped drinking for short periods but could never feel stopped, feel like the obsession had been lifted, until I finally bought into step 3 as it is written in the Big Book.
