"Whether agnostic, atheist, or former believer, we can stand together ... . True humility and an open mind can lead us to faith, and every A.A. meeting is an assurance that God will restore us to sanity IF WE RIGHTLY RELATE OURSELVES to him." [emphasis added]--Bill Wilson. I have an essay brewing in my INTP split screens that will take the stigmatizing "isms" (which should be destigmatized anyway) out of 12 step programs and even take belief in god out as god is not necessary for spirituality. When I use the term spiritual, I use it in a manner that transcends the duality of theism versus atheism. One can act entirely spiritual with or without a belief in “god” however one understands that term. Spirituality only requires empathy, compassion, and love. Spirituality like science is a search for truths and on one level spirituality is a search for personal truths and is really only about being the best person that one can be.
