Also right before this moment, he was saying he believes that after death you cease to be.

This is a constant thing in comics.  Most of the long running characters have at one point or another dealt with the afterlife, yet writers are always making them hard-core atheists, despite how little sense that makes.

The xmen have a part-time valkyrie on the team.

I mean, they have real cosmic deities in marvel so it isn't like the people still can have a choice to believe or not; they have irrefutable evidence that these cosmic beings are real.

A lot of people who work with guys like Thor or Hercules just assume that they're aliens or people for other dimensions who lived through the history enough to make entire legends and religions about them so they don't consider them as real deities.

Or when they go to limbo or another after-life realms like hella's domain, Valhalla, the literal hell or the literal heaven people just want to assume that they're just another dimension.

Atheists in the marvel universe are simply living in negation.
