As it is explained in the paper, I don't see how these results contradict the theory laid out in Born Believers. Young children, even at the age where they begin to be able to argue on the basis of causality, will constantly have had their world views challenged, conditioned and corrected by their authorities, whether these authorities are religious, secular, right or wrong.
As even old, intelligent and wise people will have to make constant leaps of faith to make sense of the world, I find it hard to accept that children aren't inherently inclined to accept events as non-causal.
