Mormonism is the only major (ish) religion that's homegrown and culturally they're mostly WASPs or close to it. Above average chance of getting clearance and of wanting a career in a TLA. The NSA is not special in this way. The DEA, FBI etc. will show the same pattern. Difficult to prove seeing as I doubt US agencies keep records on employees' religion though.
