Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Woman during a time when reason was considered the greatest power a human could have. But people believed that reason was a gift from God, and all arguments for social change had to, in one way or another, say that God was somehow in favor of the change. That's why you'll see all kinds of references to religion in Wollstonecraft's argument for women's rights.
Also, Wollstonecraft understood God to have been incapable to making 51% of the human population without a capacity for rational thought. To make more than half of humanity unreasonable would constitute a major design flaw, and Wollstonecraft wasn't big on the idea of God letting design flaws slide.
In Vindication, Wollstonecraft falls back on religious arguments whenever her reason starts to fail her.
In Vindication, Wollstonecraft uses religious arguments to back up her overall point simply because most of her readers would have been religious.
