I expected Captain America to say that as it is very much in character for him. He grew up in a time where being a Christian was pretty much matter of fact. Notice Tony Stark and Bruce Banner have a very skeptical mindset about things. I'd love to see them portrayed as agnostic or atheist for leverage. Yeah i heard one person say "Yes!" at that scene. He's Marvel's big Boy Scout.

Wow.....very interesting perspectives on this movie going on in this thread. I'm glad I read it before seeing the movie, as I can see myself cringing, especially if that clapping thing happened. Now, if clapping occurs, I may be able to see it in a different light.

it's characterization for steve rogers.  joss whedon, an admitted atheist, wrote the script and directed the movie.  he also did buffy, where the lead character has a crucifix on her chest on many episodes.  didn't make any difference.  at the end of whedon's run on astonishing xmen, one of the lead characters asks god for strength because she's jewish and it's her character.

   I care as much about what Captain America thinks as I do about what God thinks - to the extent that fictional characters like THEM can be said to "think" at all.  And anyway, who the hell is Captain America?  I seem to recall vaguely that he was in a comic book I read as a small child, which, coincidentally, is the last time I gave a serious thought to God being anything real.

@Raptor...That would be issue 511. "God" in that issue ends up being Jack 'The King' Kirby. The original artist who worked with Stan Lee on the creation of many of Marvels flagship characters (many of whom have had films of late).
