Absolutely. That's why I think that it may be a significant moment for Hank...evidence of a broken faith.
I don't have a problem with religion but I don't think it would be a good development for Beast.
Funny enough, Beast actually had a discussion with Spider-Man about this topic a few real-life years ago in the Amazing Spider-Man miniseries/TPB Amazing Grace, when Spidey was having a personal crisis over the possibility of genuine divine intervention after having renounced his own faith for some unknown reason, and Beast said something to the effect that the modern-day superheroes might as well be gods, in a manner of speaking.
The spider is always on the hunt.

While Beast has never been "religious," he has at various points in his history mentioned having faith and so if this comment reflects a loss of faith, THAT is the development. I can see him looking at things either way based on his character history....just think that it is interesting.
One could have 'faith' but not be a 'prayer' kind of person. That said, if any amount of thought was given to this I would bet that it was just as simple as Beast is 'science guy' and that character type has basically adopted the not-religious trait at this point.
A little late, but. Dean White blesses any book he touches. This book #1
