I would speculate that after WWII, certain attitudes about religious discrimination/segregation changed and some of the existing NPCs got rid of "you must be a Christian to be a member" clauses. Part of the reason the AES joined is because the NPCs were horning in on their territory - it would have been pretty much the same deal for the groups without religious requirements.
