The authors are careful to make the main part of the book entirely non-religious, however if you read the Foreword by John Kabat-Zinn he gets in one Buddhist reference.   Kabat-Zinn seems to represent a substantial group of American mindfulness writers who come to meditation as atheist psychologists and then study meditation at Buddhist retreat centers.  Some of them like Kabat-Zinn and Ron Siegel end up putting differing amounts of Buddhism into their writing.  I think the title probably achieves a useful result simply by mentioning a time-limited eight week program.  For a person suffering from anxiety or depression the pay off for such a short investment of time must seem worth it.  The authors have generously made a set of audio meditations available to the public whether or not they read the book.
