I have seen many excellent critiques of the AA methodology and evidence to make the case that AA is religious/faith-based in nature.

BUT, as the OP asks, "Why do they insist it isn't religious?"
I find it interesting that you replaced the word "people" in the OP with the word "they." I suppose if I try to answer the OP i'm going to be one of "them" but here goes...

In my personal experience only, I found AA useful and no more religious than any other organization here in the deep south. Which is to say there's more religion in it than I care for but it is easy to ignore. For me.

By the way, I don't "insist" on it, at all.
