I suspect a lot of this has to do with the low temperature.
The phrase “person who is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” has a sort of rambling filibuster quality to it. Each word is pretty likely, in general, given the previous ones, even though the entire phrase is a bit specific. This is the bias inherent in low-temperature sampling, which tends to write itself into corners and produce long phrases full of obvious-next-words that are not necessarily themselves common phrases.
Going word by word, “person who is not a member...” is all nice and vague and generic; by the time you get to “a member of the”, obvious continuations are “Church” or “Communist Party”; by the time you have “the Church of”, “England” is a pretty likely continuation. Why Mormons though?
“Since 2018, the LDS Church has emphasized a desire for its members be referred to as “members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints”.”—Wikipedia
And there just aren’t that many other likely continuations of the low-temperature-attracting phrase “members of the Church of”.
(While “member of the Communist Party” is an infamous phrase from McCarthyism.)
If I’m right, sampling at temperature 1 should produce a much more representative set of definitions.
