I think you raise a good point, and you are right one needs to be careful about 'the religion card'.
However, when I perform analysis of a security incident I want to consider both the technical means that was exploited but also an understanding of why it took place in the first place.
Apart from worms/etc, most hack attacks involve human effort, time and skill and so people don't do them without a strong motivation. It might be financial but if it isn't then I want to get into the head of the attacker and understand why.
In conclusion, all I'm saying is that if you are an innocent hostee on Bluehost who is wondering why you got attacked, it might be because some anti-mormon hackers decided to get into their shit. And if you didn't know Bluehost was a super pro-Mormon outfit, you'd have never known or be armed with the information to make an informed choice of where you put your website.
