I was very open about my atheism when I attended AA and have never in my life been met with more criticism and judgement for it.
You mileage varies from mine. I live in Texas, and there's too much religion down here, but my home group, I don't hold my atheism private, and they don't beat me over the head for it. I don't attend too often any more -- though I probably still should, I'm still young in my recovery -- but it's not for any evangelism on their part.
From what I understand, each group has a personality of its own.
Good luck with your recovery. Whatever gets you through the night, 't's alright, 't's alright.
