You're far from alone. There was an interesting thread on r/psychonauts recently about atheist psychonauts[1], and a lot of people identified as such.

Psychedelics clearly don't inevitably lead people to become believers... but still a lot of people do, especially when they have overwhelmingly powerful mystical experiences (which we know are pretty likely to happen on psychedelics).

The most lasting message I got from my trips was "wow, we don't know shit. It sure is weird that we're all on this planet and don't really have any idea what's actually going on." No real insight into the nature of reality, except that it's pretty weird.
