In the MCU, I don't think Steve Rogers has ever explicitly declared his religion. The circumstantial evidence would suggest he's Christian or Jewish, with (IMO) the more likely case being Christian.

  • The fact that he claims there is only one God indicates that he's monotheistic. That most likely means Jewish, Christian, or Muslim.
  • He grew up in New York in the 1920s. By far the vast majority of Americans in the 20s and 30s were Protestant Christians, but there was also a rapidly growing Jewish community in New York.
  • He's Caucasianclearly of Western European descent (e.g. he's "white"). In the 20's and 30's, most Muslims in the US were immigrants from the Middle East.
  • His surname is Rogers; this is primarily an English/Irish/Scottish surname, where again the dominant religion is Christianity.

As a final point, in the source comics, he's definitely Irish Catholic. He has discussed his upbringing as the son of an Irish Catholic family and how his family's faith made an impression on him. While the MCU Steve Rogers hasn't made the same claim (and is unlikely to do so explicity, I suspect) that would fit well with the rest of his character.
