"Seems rather strange to combine evangicals and mormons and leave out all others."

I think it's for political reasons and not "faith".
Typically "Evangelicals" are social conservatives like Mormons - as opposed to mainline Protestant churches (Episcopal, Presbeterian, etc) that are pretty-much sold out to the Liberal agenda.
And I guess Roman Catholics, although the Church is officially pro-life, pro-family, etc, many of the adherents are socially liberal (except Freepers, of course).

Catholics are split between liberals and conservatives. Probably they left them out because there was no easy way to identify which Catholics were which, whereas the Evangelical Protestants and Mormons were more uniform and easier to identify.

The main Protestant church in Germany (Lutheran/Calvinist) is called evangelisch.
