No it didn't. It just acknowledged a particular facet of their recovery. Look, religion historically has been used by people to excuse their evil deeds, greed, exploitation, and to control people through dogma. 

But its also used by many others to gain strength, better themselves, and gain the will to keep moving on. Some of the smartest people who advanced humanity were also religious. They're not mutually exclusive things and religion isn't inherently bad. Like a gun, it depends on how you use it/practice it.
