Battlestar Galactica
I think at least one of the writers for Battlestar Galactica was Mormon.
My arguments are as follows:
-They don't get married- they get sealed together forever.
-The ancient gods came from a planet called Kobol.
-They are descendants of the 12 tribes and are looking for the lost thirteenth written about in their scripture. (They actually use the word scripture not legend or folklore but scripture.)
-At one point, their leader (named Adama) says something along the lines of, "Didn't you know, the great gods of Kobol were once like us and we can become like them."
-They are always saying things like, "Go say your prayers," or "Pray for me," or "I'll pray for you". (Not that only Mormons pray, but I think you catch my drift.)
I looked up Battlestar Galactica online and read a bit about it in Wikipedia (not the most credible source, I know, but interesting). They had a section called Religious references. It only talked about how the twelve tribes were named for the astrological signs of the Greek zodiac and how several characters were named for Greek gods.
So, I could be wrong.
