Nobody can tell you what religion to follow. That is something that you have to figure out by yourself through research and intuition. Each soul must follow its own path.
You could begin by contemplating the nature of the Supreme Being through the more philosophical schools of thought such as Hermeticism which teaches the divinity of The All, Neoplatonism with its almost identical concept of The One, or Eastern philosophy with its monistic cosmology of Brahman.
All of these conceptions of the Supreme Being are far more rational than the insane god of the Abrahamic religions and can be reached through philosophical enquiry rather than blind faith.
However, after studying religion and esotericism for more than 10 years, I've come to the conclusion that all of the religions are manmade while even the more philosophical conceptions of the Supreme Being and the occult and spiritual layers of reality can only ever be mere approximations. This should be obvious in light of the fact that all of these traditions contain internal contradictions, change throughout time, and reflect the biases and received ideas of their age and location as well as the agendas of their founders and priests/philosophers.
Experience has taught me that the only thing you can be certain about is direct experience of occult phenomena – things such as qi/prana/energy work, nadis/energy channels, chakras, Kundalini, Siddhis/psychic abilities, etc. These things are a reality which can be directly experienced and which transcend age and location (knowledge of them just happens to have been best preserved by Hindus), not simply concepts of philosophical speculation.
As for gods in the polytheistic sense, I'm personally of the view that some of them originally taught us knowledge and civilization – the faction led by Enki –, but then after the event known as "the war in heaven" those benevolent extraterrestrials were ousted and replaced by the evil entities of Judaism and the Kabbalah – what the Kabbalists call "seraphim" and describe as reptilians. But this is my historical interpretation of the ancient mythologies. Every truth seeker must study and come to his own conclusion.
I don't know if this is the type of answer you were hoping for but I hope that it helps.
