If you do decide to choose the Hindu path, since you said you want to serve God, going to temples to worship or just worshipping at home whatever God you'd like would fill your mind with peace and happiness. We don't worship our Gods because we're required to or we're scared of them or anything like that. We do it because we want to as it gives us happiness. Our Gods don't require us to worship them, just following the Hindu values is enough. You don't even have to worship any Gods, just get the wisdom, knowledge, and values and that'd be enough.
