Re: "You don't have to be a believer to believe that it can work" It's confusing. Many non-believing alcoholics sober up in the atheist AA groups. Whatever they choose as their "higher power" works as well (maybe better) than belief in the supernatural.
Must be the psychology in the literature (tested/tried science) or easier to have faith in the universe, the moon, the blue chair - whatever.
