Do I have to believe in God to go to AA?

No, and the honest version of the answer is that the language is religious and the requirement is not. Many groups meet in church halls because church halls are cheap to rent, which accounts for some of the impression. The steps do name God and a higher power, and what anyone makes of that is left to them.

Which AA meeting should I go to first?

Whichever needs the least organizing to attend. A discussion meeting is usually the gentlest format, and a speaker meeting asks even less of you because one person talks. The groups listed above each run their own schedule.
