The official stance of AA is that (paraphrasing) members are "powerless over alcohol, and none but a higher power may restore them".

Now, depending on where you are influences what exactly a "higher power" is. For instance, AA meetings held in a Christian church basement will therefore be attended by Christians who take God as their higher power. I can't speak from experience, but I would believe that meetings held in other religious houses would follow along similar lines. I personally never heard of meetings being held on strictly secular ground, but I imagine it possible.

And Bud, that's just the Catholics. Protestants use grape juice.
