I don’t know – AA is based on Christian beliefs but does work and maybe that is why. Go with what works.
Because AA treats people who are addicted to alcohol, whatever their beliefs
AA is a non-sectarian organization for alcoholics, meaning, people can come from different religions or have no religion at all.
AA is not religious based. One of the steps says something along the lines of “…Believing in a higher power…” it does not specify what/who only acknowledging there is something/someone out there. Besides AA works for many people, so why wouldn’t psychologist/counselors continue to use something that works?
Because they don’t know any better or are indoctrinated themselves.
I’d think any decent psychologist would consider the fact that his client was an atheist before sending them to a group that believes God gets you sober.
