His comment, ''if you believe in that sort of thing'' in reference to the Tanis story seems slightly condescending, like that the idea is silly, as well as his mockery of the Ark (when warned of it's power by Marcus), comparing to the ''Boogeyman"..I wonder if, prior to the events of the climax of Raiders, he was an Atheist? I mean I know it's nothing we can say definitively, but we can speculate nonetheless and it is an interesting plot point if he was--it makes him being chosen to discover the Ark and rescue it (not by the government, but perhaps by God) all the more interesting.
Or perhaps was he just doing what he had been instructed by Abner to do in the abandoned Lost Horizon story?--Act nonchalant when it comes to the supernatural so as not to be considered crazy
