Interesting to note HIMS is an alpha.org scheme and requires AA.
All of them require (cough) spiritual content.
I believe in the USA an unquestioning belief in 'God' is more widespread than in the UK (or most of the so-called Christian Europe)?
Alpha certainly does a great deal of good work internationally but I'm unable to find any involvement in the HIMS scheme.
Are (cough) 'you' confusing Alpha and ALPA?
