Yes. Because spirituality is for the weak, those who need to put the control of their life into the hands of something not there. Not measurable, not scientific. Just blind faith. Like a
fairy tale.
Atheists usually prefer a science-based approach, like CBT. (not the BDSM variety)
That is, at least, proven to work, is measurable and doesn't rely on any bullshit 'power' or 'spirituality' that can't be shown to be there.
The 12 steps do not tackle the ROOT of why you are addicted to your addiction. It just says "everything cool, trust in god". I think tackling the root of the issue would be better. This is why so many 12 steppers are massive smokers/coffee freaks. Transference of addiction.
