Coffee, God, and Cigarettes is a song mocking Alcoholics Anonymus. Considering that Erik Peterson is an atheist (Goodybye Under God) obviously he's poking fun at something because these aren't his true beliefs. AA tells people that they don't need alcohol they just need Jesus and to submit to a higher power.
You're obviously mistaken with what the program of alcoholics anonymous is about. It's not about accepting Jesus at all. It's about accepting a higher power. Which could be anything greater then yourself. It could be a group of people, the program, god, any sort of thing greater then yourself.

Makes sense, considering the "Ha, I'm going to hell for that one!" At the end of the song.

This song is intensely bad ass. This band is way too good to be as unknown as they are!

okay well im in NA and the vast majority of my friends are in NA/AA but this song, at least for me, is pretty true cynical it may be

and AA/NA teaches nothing about needing jesus. A higher power whatever it may be, its spiritual not religious.
