Why did an agnostic in me read Bhagavad Gita?

When I told people I was reading the Bhagavad Gita , almost everyone was shocked. Why? Despite being brought up in a religious family, the idea of god being the be-all and end-all was trivial for me. As I grew older, I started to get more and more agnostic.

But lately, I’ve been reading books on philosophy. I read books on stoicism, nihilism, existentialism and Marxism to understand different perspectives and clear various doubts that I had.
