This is both wrong and deeply harmful. As others in this thread have pointed out, you can choose any higher power you want, whether it's a tree or the inevitable increase in universal entropy. Don't throw away the whole thing because you might have to talk to a Christian.

Free, accessible addiction help is hard to come by so it's terrible to discourage people based on misinformation and culture war bullshit.
