Most Buddhists do not believe in God. Although they respect and look up to the Buddha , they do not believe he was a god but they worship him as a form of respect. By doing this they show reverence and devotion to the Buddha and to bodhisattas .

Although AA is a spirituality-based program, it works through a number pathways. As such, individuals may benefit from AA participation regardless of their spiritual leanings.

While AA maintains it is spiritual and not religious, cases in both the US and Canada have centred on whether the programme is incompatible for atheists and those whose faith could be seen as inconsistent with its vision.

While there is no formal “A.A. definition” of alcoholism, most of us agree that, for us, it could be described as a physical compulsion, coupled with a mental obsession. We mean that we had a distinct physical desire to consume alcohol beyond our capacity to control it, and in defiance of all rules of common sense.

(Discuss) Proposed since June 2020. Gift of tongues, in Christian theology, is a miraculous faculty granted by the Holy Spirit to a person, and which corresponds to the ability to speak multiple languages that such person does not know.

She says in modern day, speaking in tongues is a practice popular in the Pentecostal church; one that started in 1905. “It was a badge of honor for Pentecostals to be set apart. They wanted to be different from the majority Christian denominations,” she said.

Although both the Church of the Nazarene and the broader Pentecostal movement were born in Los Angeles around the turn of the century and have similar theological roots, the Nazarenes have staunchly opposed any incursion into their ranks by the distinctive Pentecostal and charismatic practice of speaking in tongues.

Today some Protestant churches believe that speaking in tongues is still a gift from the Holy Spirit. However, other Protestant churches reject this idea, believing the gift of tongues was only for the time of the early Church.
