Interesting. Mormons getting answered prayers wouldn’t be too surprising-they aren’t conventional Christians, but they’re trying to pray to the same God-maybe it works? Getting higher rates of answers is unexpected though.
I don’t think this requires an assumption that it’s real at all; a higher level of commitment could very easily lead people to be more lax in their standards for whether a prayer has been “answered,” if we’re looking at it in psychological rather than supernatural terms.

Mormons tend to be more committed, so that could explain the higher rate of answers, assuming it is real.
