Is SMART recovery non religious? For good or bad (opinion in eyes of the person) a great deal of our youth are atheists, agnostics or plain spiritual not otherwise specified and won't go to any group that they feel is too based in ANY religion. And since now we are becoming very LGTG friendly, the young often are offended when any group is considered bad. I see the point.
Princess stood up and told off a youth pastor who said being gay was a sin so AA And NA turned her off and she needed something badly. I understand why she was mad though. The kids were raised to not be prejudice against others and it took hold strongly with them.
