Wilson was a habitual liar, even a compulsive or pathological liar. He
lied about nearly everything:
his "college education" at a "wonderful engineering school" as a
scientist and an atheist.
the terrible failure rate of his faith-based Alcoholics Anonymous
quit-drinking program.
the cult-religion origins of Alcoholics Anonymous, and the history of
A.A. and the Twelve Steps.
the religious nature of the program.
the financial history of the Big Book.
his "inability" to stop cheating on his wife and acting as a sexual
predator, taking unethical advantage of the pretty women who came to
A.A. seeking help with their alcoholism.
In the Big Book, "Alcoholics Anonymous", the bible of Alcoholics
Anonymous, Bill Wilson strongly declared (in 1939) that he had never
been an atheist (page 10). Then he went on to brag in his following
books that he had been a conservative atheist who was educated at a
wonderful engineering school that had taught him that man is God.
Obviously, Bill was just making up stories as he went along.
Bill Wilson even lied about lying -- he maintained that Alcoholics
Anonymous was a program that required "grasping and developing a
manner of living which demands rigorous honesty." (The Big Book, page
58.)

Bill Wilson behaved like a typical cult leader: He took everything for
himself -- the power, the fame, the publicity, the prestige, the
money, the women, and all of the credit for A.A. successes -- while
exhorting the other members to work selflessly, anonymously, with no
thought of personal profit. Bill Wilson went on speaking tours across
the country where he routinely broke his anonymity and got his story
and picture printed in the newspapers. He even went and testified
before Congress, identifying himself as Bill Wilson, the founder and
leader of Alcoholics Anonymous. By 1944, Bill Wilson was the most
famous "anonymous" person in the U.S.A..

Bill felt that he was special, and entitled to the best of everything,
while other people were just disgusting alcoholics who were entitled
to nothing.
