Yes, but only in the sense that animals have feelings. A child indeed has feelings, but feelings so crude and primal that he has no necessity to create a god to fill that necessity.
It is not until you begin to reason that logic must precede feelings (sentiments would be a better word)
And kids actually do have a relatively good logical reasoning. Kids believe 'clouds are for raining' not 'clouds are bad because many people get sad'
