I think Kanade thought that she can find the person who has given her heart is by stabbing them straight into the chest. (There are no proofs for this, but this might be the reason why she ends up being an enemy.) That thought caused a misunderstanding which lasted for a long time.

Also, there is no god.
Otonashi believes the same thing, and Yuri has been proven wrong after seeing many proofs debunking her ideology within the series.
When does Otonashi outright state that he doesn't believe in the existence of God? Yuri never seems to settle on that question either.

And the anime certainly never definitively states if God exists in its world or not. So much of the entire setting of the anime is left unexplained. At times, it feels like the matrix from The Matrix trilogy, and for all we (still) know, it might be just like that.

This is part of what I meant by how this anime leaves a great deal up to personal interpretation.

This isn't necessarily a negative, but it means that there's not much basis for making definitive statements about the setup of this anime, and its setting.
