You have come to the most likely conclusion, so why so much anguish [oh I know why!] ? If you need expert opinion I suggest you continue your studies [instead of watching documentaries] and contemplation, rather than asking in HDF or any forum. Thought carefully there is no basis in theism except generations of wrong learning and beliefs. Atheism is nothing new to Indian systems of thought, and at any rate makes the mind suffer much less.
Take your own case, the ingrained guilt of the theist dogma is creating so much anguish and guilt in you [as evident from your post], which you have labeled as confusion but not much of intellectual confusion seems to be present.
Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 per cent Of everything you think, And of everything you do, Is for yourself And there isn't one
