Could you please explain more detailed what your issues with the christian mythology are? I myself don't really like the god in that mythology, too, you know that. Because I was always the one in religion class who asked: "If god's that good, why does he let the men fight against each other? Why do violence and war exist? If he's that powerful, why doesn't he just stop it?" and the only response I got to my question was: "Gottes Wege sind unergründlich." No matter who I asked, it was always the same. So, that was a bit too little information for me... I always want to know why things happen, and I'm not satisfied with an answer like that.
And you're right, Dean is Sam's Angel. And Sam is Dean's Angel. I wanted to shake Dean awake and scream at him to finally open his eyes and see, that there are Angels among us. That Sam IS an Angel...
But I totally understand Sam and his belief.
Maybe you don't need a "higher power", Sam. Maybe you "just" need a little hope and faith in yourself. And in Dean. Maybe "one person" is enough. And maybe this is not enough for some people... See, that's why I could understand Sam's faith in something good. A higher being, a greater good. I mean, after all he was raised in christian environment. Yes, he sees the evil every day, he fights it and he kills it. Doesn't mean that there's no god or something else that's trying to do good work.
And the scene with that accident where the bad guy got killed through "God's will" - why not? Maybe there really is a greater good, weather you call it God or Allah or Jahwe or something completely else, which only wants to make the world a better place. And if that means that it has to kill people, why not? As long - and here I do agree with you - as it doesn't tell people to do it's work. If it wants to kill then it should do that by itself and not tell some human being to do that dirty job.
Don't get me wrong: I think it's great that Dean found a little faith. I just don't like the place he found it in. Why?
