I do not blame you for becoming an agnostic, coming out of the Catholic Church, which is a bastardization of true Christianity. I came out of the Lutheran Church, and was an avowed atheist at one time. Man made religions which are only a shadow of the truth, not understanding nor giving out the knowledge of how much God truly and completely loves each one of us. Love, true love, is what we are all very hungry for, even starving for. Only God loves us as we desperately need to be loved, and only He can awaken us up to what love really is. Only in Him will we ever actually know love.

If you care about truth, ask God sincerely, you don't have to believe He exists, but talk to Him just in case He exists, ask Him to open your eyes up to proof. If you do this with a heart that is truly interested in truth, and finding it, God will condescend to your unbelieving heart, and give to you the proof you desire. This will happen only if you are not using unbelief as a cover for rebellious treason against Almighty God.

If you come to Him with a sincere heart, searching for truth, He will make sure that you find Him. It will not have anything to do with any organized religion. It will have to do with The LORD opening up a personal relationship with you, which is love. I did this one day over thirty five years ago, just in case, and have had many revelations, proofs and miracles throughout my life. But for you this is anecdotal evidence, unless, or until as a child, you come to God, just as you are, with all of your unbelief, but also with a heart willing to receive Him, and acknowledge the fact that Jesus Christ, who was without sin, died a criminal's death for the purpose of paying the penalty, in your place, for your all of your sins, so that you can go free. The penalty God, who is a just God, has to have paid for, by either you in eternal hell, or if you accept what He has done for you, by Christ.

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God. (I Corinthians 1:18)

Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. (II Corinthians 4:1-6)
