Agnostic as of now.
I highly respect traditional religions, despite their flaws, and I believe that there's a great amount of wisdom in their views on morality, asceticism, and letting some higher purpose give meaning to your life; I also think they are really helpful for people who feel hopeless, and give meaning to people who would probably rope without it.
Moreover, I really respect the art, theater, and theology / philosophy behind a lot of traditional religions; whether it's the Tridentine Mass for Roman Catholicism, the Byzantine Liturgy for Eastern Orthodox, the Oriental Orthodox liturgies, traditional Islamic prayer and Sufism, Buddhist and other East Asian (Daoism / Shintoism for example) rituals, Sikhism rituals, even traditional Orthodox Jewish rituals and cultural practices. While Hindu philosophy is interesting, the Hindu stories, gods, and rituals are disturbing to me, although that may be my inherent Christian First Commandment bias coming up.
I'm particularly biased raised in a particular monotheistic religion (Christianity), but I tend to think that despite how profound these religions are and what they say about human nature, they are at the end of the day "models" which, like academic models created by other humans, don't fully capture the complexities of human nature and have inherent flaws, such that I am incredibly skeptical.
I question how in Christianity, for example, pedophilia is seen as immoral given that many of the Apocryphal stories / tradition that we have of the Virgin Mary have her get pregnant at the age of 12, or how one reconciles the fact that God Himself in the Old Testament tells people "an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth" as a moral law and orders Israelite armies to kill entire nations of people, yet Jesus Himself, also God, explicitly rejects this precept as inadequate (rejects "an eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth") and says "those who live by the sword die by the sword."
I question how in a lot of Eastern religions one can truly lead to "ego death" and self-denial when it seems that the quest for self-denial is in of itself a selfish desire.
I feel that it's likely not the case that any of them are true, but if I were to ever get married and ascend (lol), I would still raise my children in a religion to give them some morality and culture in their upbringing, but I would gradually allow them freedom to leave as they got older and give the "other side" of atheism to them.
At the same time, I don't have the hubris to definitively say that any of them are without a single doubt false. I find the belief that there is no supernatural behavior (that is, all the laws of physics, science, and nature are constant and uniformitarian throughout time), or the idea that matter is infinite or the belief that we are in a process of infinite bigg bangs is just as nonfalsifiable as a belief in God.
There may be some purpose, but I can't logically figure it out.

I always liked that story but found it unsettling ngl

Exactly. Even if god existed, why should we care, he definitely doesn't have any empathy for usIf there is one, he lacks empathy.
