Canon question re Brian's references to God

[cowboystracker.livejournal.com]

I have read a few fics by different writers who have the gang, mostly Brian, saying 'Thank the gods.' It started me wondering if that was canon for Brian to refer to multiple gods. I know it's not canon for Ted because of the speech he gave Emmett at the Seen the Light meeting (one of my favorite scenes) and I'm certain it's not canon for Michael or Emmett either. So, did I miss something said by Brian?

ETA: Seems to be non-canon. Thanks for all the help. You guys are the best! :)
