Chances are you're surrounded by like-minded people just going through the motions.. like you were/are. Chin up, it's not as bad as it seems.
Fun fact, atheism has a long history in hindu tradition (insomuch as hinduism can be called a monolithic tradition) - arguably the first atheists on-record espoused their position from within the collective of indian philosophy.

Atheists in India are a minuscule minority, hardly 0.0027% of the total population of around 3 million.. There are definitely others but they have not declared it publicly yet.. (like me). Two very common religions here in India, Jainism and Buddhism, rejected the existence of a deity who is supposed to be the creator of our universe..They do believe in Karma though..[/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irreligion_in_India#cite_note-20]
तुम जिन्न या भूत नहीं।
कहीं से आये नहीं। किसी ने भेजा नहीं।
किसी ने सोच-समझ कर तुम्हें गढा नहीं।
न तुम आकाश से टपके हो,
न शून्य से प्रकटे हो।
तुम अपने माता-पिता के शरीर से उगे हो – अनायास
