Oooo, this is a toughy (I'm two seasons behind and I know stuff has happened that would affect this)
I think Dean lost any faith he might have developed the night his mother died. He figured that the angel she talked about and the God they said their prayers to at night before she tucked him in, was a lie—something like the tooth fairy or the Easter Bunny—that only little kids believed in. And when his mother died he couldn't afford to be a little kid anymore because Dad and Sammy needed him to be a big boy—a big brother.
Sam has always believed because he may not have a mom and Dad is almost never around but he has Dean, and if that isn't a God-given blessing, he doesn't know what is.
