Until you provide an explanation, let's go with the appearances of things, it's more probable than not that an observed tendency towards teleological thinking points to the object of teleology -god.
Explanation of what? That little children are gullible, naive and have vivid imagination? Are you serious?

No amount of effort in this life will make it up for here. She can only find hope and purpose in the idea of hell for the rapist, and heaven for her daughter.
Really? And where is a study on that assertion you made?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
