Why don't atheists do anything like that? Religious groups do these things because they think it's part of their mission. It's another good thing about religion in America.
They do....I can't compare numbers for you but I got 114,000 hits on Google..............

Secular Organizations for Sobriety

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS), also known as Save Our Selves, [1] is a non-profit network of autonomous addiction recovery groups. The program stresses the need to place the highest priority on sobriety and uses mutual support to assist members in achieving this goal. The Suggested Guidelines for Sobriety emphasize rational decision-making and are not religious or spiritual in nature. SOS represents an alternative to the spiritually based addiction recovery programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). SOS members may also attend AA meetings, but SOS does not view spirituality or surrender to a Higher Power as being necessary to maintain abstinence. [2] [3]

Hey, I think I'll start a secular recovery program.....got a great name, "Sobriety without Spirits"....




Why didn't the USSR win the cold war? Why isn't North Korea the leader in world invention? They should have been edens since they were totally secular.
A nation may declare a secular government and there are many, but that doesn't mean the people are secular and they generally aren't.... The people of the USSR were largely Christian, ie Russian Orthodox...the former SR's still are.

Why isn't North Korea the leader in world invention?
lol.........are you suggesting that religions spur inventiveness?????? If religion had it's way, you'd still believe the sun circled the earth... btw, the USA is officially a secular nation.
