You will find a strong secular following in AA. Follow your heart, I read a lot of that anti-AA literature as well and it turned me off. In the end I decided to ignore it and try the steps. Three years laters and still sober.
BTW we are never cured. If you ever think you are, try a little controlled drinking.
