Hang on - I didn't say it was any problem with 'the programme', just that was a big part of my reasoning, which actually isn't a problem at all to me.
You'll have to forgive my confusion - on the one hand posters feel if they can't push faith there then their recovery is meaningless, there's posts about the lord's prayer - but despite that even suggesting that 'MOST' (tried bold last time so thought I might try caps) believe in god - is apparently incorrect?
Spiritual/religious whatever - there does seem some element of confusion to me and as most of the time I get to spectate that on here (like frequently!) without comment I simply made a suggestion.
Take it how you want but I wouldn't attend what
