Oddly, all but one of these denominations is batting out of its league.

Another way of looking at it: In the US, there are religions that are regarded as mainstream (various Protestant denominations), and those regarded as out of the mainstream (Catholicism, LDS, anything non-Christian). The Catholics are batting out of their league as the only non-mainstream religion to have hit even one over the fence.

On the other hand, Catholics are over-represented on the Supreme Court, perhaps because they're the branch of Christianity with some kind of intellectual tradition.
