Meditation disciplines explicitly or implicitly touch on a state of the mind, which is free from the symbols, and forms and their concepts. Such state of the mind has different interpretations which often came from the old stuff, ie your beliefs. These beliefs come from the philosophy that you subscribed about God or not.
Often, the challenge has been about not spiritualizing or Godifying such state of the mind. There have been many names given to it. Nirvana, God realization, Universal consciousness, non-dualistic God, etc could be the names for such state of the mind. I think, such pure state of the mind, where the conditioning or the programming of the mind has stopped, could be diluted to fit your beliefs. If you have come that far, please notice what beliefs are active to interpret the experience of it.
In my view, confusion is due to an attempt to verbalize an experience pertaining to that state of the mind, when it is not meant. Also the confusion is also due to the value that we create out of it for organizing belief systems.
