I mean...I think this is kind of missing the point. At the end of S1, Aziraphale had just barely gotten away from Heaven, which is presented pretty explicitly as a cult. He has had four years to deprogram after six millennia of being told that he's on the ONLY good side in all this (something he still believes fairly strongly in S1/the book, since he tries to call God to get Her to fix things). Four years? Not a long time, relative to all that.

Not to mention that he came relatively close to not making it out of his bookshop when Hell besieged it; he had to choose, almost literally, the nuclear option. He's fresh off being terrorized by "the bad side," in comparison to which Heaven's veiled threats seem pretty tame. Then in comes the Metatron, sounding perfectly reasonable, doing nice human things to "empathize" with Aziraphale, and he tells Aziraphale that he can fix this. He can make it better. The other Archangels were just doing their jobs wrong, but he can do it right.

I see exactly why he did what he did, and to me, it was him getting pulled back into a cult, not trying to become the police chief.
