I'd argue its harmful when Christians teach you to feel bad for being human.
This is much the same.

I think that’s fair - and so AA probably doesn’t fit your personality as well as it does others.
Exactly - it is taking a program that was religious and removing the more openly religious parts in order to try and help people who aren’t religious.
You can smell religion all over it.
> that is not how you promote a prosperous and good outlook on life.
With a Christian frame of reference it fits and makes sense - and isn’t framing you as a victim.
For others it can feel very weird and even possibly harmful and build a victim mentality to think of it that way.
