Quite a few people think it is. They may related it to Mormonism by noticing how Bella comes home, and immediately does chores, like cooking, and laundry, and stuff like that, as Mormon children are said to do. Plus, the author is Mormon. Now, Stephanie Meyers might not have consciously wrote it that way. Maybe that's just the lifestyle she's used to. But I don't know for sure. Those are just some points to bring up.

Aww... I guess not. Yes Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon but she didn't created the Twilight Saga to attract people to become Mormon. She created Twilight when a dream she had where a "sexy" male vampire seems to be in love with a human in the meadow.

It's just that being a Mormon herself, obviously she'll put in the values she believes into the story. In the book, we'll see the following values being prioritized by the Mormons such as marriage, family and about premarital sex as well. I think most writer will do that since they're the one in control of things and they have ideas on their mind on how to make the story be best depending on their preference.

I don't think so. There is not enough religious rhetoric in the books to support this argument. I managed to struggle through the first couple of books in the series and stumbled onto this quote:

"Well, where did you come from? Evolution? Creation? Couldn’t we have evolved in the same way as other species, predator and prey? Or, if you don’t believe all this world could have just happened on its own, which is hard for me to accept myself, is it so hard to believe that the same force that created the delicate angelfish with the shark, the baby seal and the killer whale, could create both our kinds together?"

This is a common argument from creationists (the argument from personal incredulity) which suggest that Stephanie Meyer certainly holds very traditional religious views.

But again, I don't think there is enough of this type of stuff in the books (haven't read the later ones), to indicate this is Mormon propaganda.
