   HP = higher power

     @abhijith_balan It's an originally Christian framework, so people do what they can to make it work, and they redefine the terms as a workaround.

     If you say "I interpret the 'higher power' of this framework to be my loyalty to my family" it doesn't suddenly make you believe in miracles, an afterlife and an omniscient Creator.

     @clacke @hypolite @clacke They won't be atheists if they believe in any higher power.

     @clacke @clacke @hypolite Yup. I know. I was just hinting that if a group would promote the concept of higher power(the common concept, not this framework) they are less likely to be call themselves Atheist Anonymous. Maybe Spiritual Anonymous. 😉
