Amber,
In my opinion, you can't really learn about what OA is REALLY like without going to a few meetings. Meetings are a cornerstone of the program. All else will be revealed in good time. There is no need to figure things out all at once.
For what it's worth, I find OA to be a very "spiritual" program rather than a very "religious" program, which is good for me because I don't really believe in what most religions are selling. OA encourages you to have a "Higher Power" of your choosing. This means that if you believe in God, great. If you believe in Jesus, great. Buddha, great. If you worship the Sun, great.
The only important thing is to believe that there IS a god of some sort, AND YOU'RE NOT IT.
OA has totally changed my life. I really hope you give it a good chance. Good luck!!
Tony
