I think it's called the Just World hypothesis. This urge humans have to explain horrible things outside of our control happening to people by saying they deserved it. Religion is one of the ways to justify/explain these things. The other one that's commonly seen is the "blame the victim" attitude.

http://www.scu.edu/ethics/publications/i...world.html

Quote:The need to see victims as the recipients of their just deserts can be explained by what psychologists call the Just World Hypothesis. According to the hypothesis, people have a strong desire or need to believe that the world is an orderly, predictable, and just place, where people get what they deserve.
