To be fair, the two gods he knows are more like aliens who used to mess with primitive humans for lulz. It’s like if Superman popped by earth every so often to shoot lasers from his eyes and laugh at vikings.
One might also question the pervasiveness of Nordic mythology amongst the youth of the 1940s. There’s also the fact that they’re gods in the more mythology sense that they’re really strong and less in the Alpha and Omega sense. When he says “There’s only one God I believe in” he isn’t refuting their existence, but discrediting their status as gods, especially given the setup of the given scene as Thor has promptly grabbed Loki and jumped out of the plane with the thunder and everything. Also, he does know a dude who has created robo armor, a man that transforms into a rage powered ogre, has fought sci-fi Buck Rogers not-Nazis and a dude whose skull was red who was disintegrated by a cube. I think he has some reason to believe they aren’t gods which they technically aren’t.
Oh, wow, that was a lot longer than I meant for it to be. I’m a nerd.
