I think it's very normal to go through a phase like that (or otherwise similar) around that age, because of how children develop around the age when they first start school; their world becomes gradually bigger and they understand more and more of what's going on around them and with death, disease and other terrible things and so I personally believe it's a very normal reaction to that. Like, I remember my dog dying when I was around that age and I just really, really, really wanted to believe that he wasn't just gone, you know? That he'd gone someplace else, to heaven or whatever, and that he was happy there (and that his legs didn't hurt anymore) kinda. So that's that.

I did have a short phase around the age of like six, seven tho when I wanted to be religious and to believe in god and in angels and all that stuff. Didn't work out for me. Lost interest within a couple months because I just couldn't get myself to believe all that stuff. I even tried to read the Bible.
