Because they are scared. They usually do that when they are in the air or far from the ground. They are either afraid you are going to drop them and trying to get away or they KNOW you have dropped them and are trying to get away so you don't do it again. Rabbits are afraid of heights.

What do rabbits and eggs have to do with god?

God created them as all other things. What do rabbits and eggs have to do with Easter? Nothing really. They are related to the fertility rites that Easter is built upon. Rabbits can have several litters of babies a year, so they are symbols of procreation. Eggs are, to some ancient peoples, the source of life. They have nothing to do with Easter.
