Is There a Humanist Version of AA?
Question by noggin the nog: Is there a Humanist version of AA?
The 12 Steps programme emphasises turning to a higher power for help. The AA deny being Christian, and open to all religions, but anyone with half a wit can see this isn’t the case.

Is there a secular version, or a Humanist version, of the meetings? Is there, in fact, a group with the same widespread influence as AA without the undertones of God-bothering??? One perhaps that believes that humans are able to overcome anything the universe throws at them, if they want to….
