Why does Alcoholics Anonymous hide their meetings in church basements?

Other more human friendly and secular self-help groups are denied meeting space at Christian facilities.

What is going on here?

Could AA be a Cult?

They are not only in church basements. They are in community centers, private businesses, basically anywhere they can find to have their meetings. It just happens churches have the room and are willing to help out. As far as being a cult, no… the democratic party is a cult but not AA.

    Seeing as they are Anonymous, it only makes sense they would not market their meetings in an outrageous manner.

    No, they’re not a cult. Church basements are relatively inexpensive to rent out, are willing to help, and each group is self-supporting, so meeting places need to be economical to rent out. They also want to remain anonymous, obviously. No it’s not a cult, but Scientology/Narconon are (not to be confused with NA/Narcotics Anonymous).
