What makes you so sure that Mormonism was a cause of his/her goal or achievement? What if you said it like this: Despite being a Mormon, Jill is one of the finest cellists alive. Without direct causal evidence this statement is just as valid. In fact I'll argue that religious activites detract from practicing the cello. Reading The God Delusion would also for that matter. My point is that the religion likely has very little to do with non-religios outcomes.
Keep in mind that people achieve the same goals all the time that aren't Mormon. Do you attribute their success to their professed religion or atheism? This should start sounding a bit silly at this point.
