Under a godless worldview, these things are accidental properties of humans and it makes no sense to ask "why this. Under a Christian worldview, these things are a result of being made in the image of God.

Under my point of view, you (and all believers) are subjectively attributing those things to the notion of a god.
Moreover, due to the accident of the place of your birth, you attribute it to a particular god.
