One of my little cousins say Heaven when she wants to say that this person is good , and she says Hell when he is bad.
If one heard this and laughed at her, did he mock religion in this case ?

Becoming a Kafir in the sense of laughing at religion:
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّمَا كُنَّا نَخُوضُ وَنَلْعَبُ ۚ قُلْ أَبِاللَّـهِ وَآيَاتِهِ وَرَسُولِهِ كُنتُمْ تَسْتَهْزِئُونَ / لَا تَعْتَذِرُوا قَدْ كَفَرْتُم بَعْدَ إِيمَانِكُمْ ۚ إِن نَّعْفُ عَن طَائِفَةٍ مِّنكُمْ نُعَذِّبْ طَائِفَةً بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مُجْرِمِينَ
And if you should question them, they would certainly say: We were only idly discoursing and sporting. Say: Was it at Allah and His communications and His Apostle that you mocked? / Do not make excuses; you have denied indeed after you had believed; if We pardon a party of you, We will chastise (another) party because they are guilty. [9:65,66]
is totally different from what you are asking about. The ill and wrong Intentions are the key point to their Kufr, not their laughing. However, this doesn't allow such idly behavior as well, we should be respectful about such concepts and such idly behavior can gradually change our attitude and intention against the religion, and it will be then that someone will be Kafir.
In Islam we have both "how to be in hide" and "how to appear in open", the former is a source of appearing behavior in open and the latter can root inside us so to change our inside, that's why we have "شعائر" and شعار (motto) when is repeated regularly can change into شعور (consciousnesses) and decorate our inside. Now we should choose what we are to repeat as our شعار, and respecting the religion of our Lord is among those things that we should care much. Laughing at such issues Idly does not necassarily imply Kufr, but it can and probably will bring Kufr to our lives at least in some respects.
However, your case seems both to be "fear of Allah not to do anything wrong even though small" and "Satanic inspiration" (وسواس), if so then you need to balance them and for that simply learn the rules of Islam (so that you know certainly what is forbidden and what is allowed) and follow them without caring much about what is encouraged or discouraged. After that when you evolved in being submitted to Allah then care more about every little thing that you scare about it if it is problematic or not. Just a piece of advice, and Allah knows best.
In my personal opinion, it really depends on the situation for whether you cousins are blasphemous or whether they are using it as description for something which is justified. For instance, you can say 'if you fail to be a good Muslim, you will not go to heaven' that is fine - but saying 'that food was heavenly' is comparing Allah's realm with human creation, which is insulting to Muslims and needs to be punished.
So, really, yes and no!
In my personal opinion, no he is not mocking the religion.
It is good to teach our young the basics of Islam, and let them know that good people go to heaven and bad ones go to hell, and train them what are good things to do, and what are bad things to avoid.
However I see that laughing at this girl is a sort of encouraging her that she is doing something right, since if a child did something wrong his parents shout at him, laughing is the contrary (their unconscience says that this is a good thing).
