OK ... welcome to the forum 
Ask yourself this simple question ... if every religion in the world ([past or present) claims there is a god and that they are god's only true followers ™ what greater right do Catholics and/or Christians have to claim theirs is the right god? In order to reject all those you have to use some kind of logic, a method or whatever ... having assured yourself your method for rejection is sound (reasonably objective) apply that same method to your god and ask yourself if it also survives that objective assessment.
Paraphrasing (Stephen Roberts as I recall) when you understand why you reject all other deities you will understand why we reject yours (which is what you'd expect because we're atheists, the great unwashed, LOL) but, more to the point in your case, once you have justified this to yourself you should know whether your belief is truly sound and on that basis whether or not you should continue with your baptism.
I hope you can figure it out and that you're happy with your decision because, whether it reflects the truth or not, you have to live with it so that's really what matters (that you're happy).
I'm an ex-Rat Catcher (Roman Catholic) BTW.
