Accept atheists?

For the time being, we who were atheist or agnostic discovered that our own group, or A.A. as a whole, would suffice as a higher power. 12&12, pg. 107

From great numbers of such experiences, we could predict that the doubter who still claimed that he hadn't got the "spiritual angle," and who still considered his well-loved A.A. group the higher power, would presently love God and call Him by name. 12&12, pg. 109
