There is some 'psychological speak' that infiltrates the into the AA meeting rooms. Most of this 'speak' is counter-wise to the AA 12 Step program. I think trying to discern what the program of AA is or not by only attending meetings will cause much confusion. Best to read the book.

I'm happy you were able to connect to an AA member that helped you in AA. Service to others is golden standard. As for the atheist hatter, yea they say some funky stuff. I'm surprised this individual didn't add we (I'm atheist)
'eat babies too'...LOL
