Really? I know someone who went to AA and she's as anti-religion as they get. She never mentioned God before while she was there. Did you accidentally attend an Allah Anonymous group?? As for not wanting friends, I think that's somewhat healthy. I think they definitely need at least one or two decent friends but it's good to be independent and not rely on others to fulfill needs.
God is explicitly mentioned in four of the twelve steps (3,5,6 and 11 as it happens). Some people get around this by claiming G.O.D. stands for Good Orderly Direction. Or more humorously, Group Of Drunks.
It kind of strange, because AA was specifically set up to be nondenominational, it needn't even be the Christian god you put your faith in, but at the same time, some sort of god is officially required.
IIN that I think AA is a cult?
