Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (The "Mormon" church) would argue that Joseph Smith did not create the Church, Jesus Christ did. They believe that they are practicing the original Christian religion found in The Bible, and many would say that their Church was created by Jesus Christ in the Garden of Eden, with Adam and Eve.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was founded on April 6, 1830 in Palmyra, New York.

Prophet Joseph Smith. Without him, there would be no LDS movement that proclaims itself Christian, because Joseph Smith said so.

Did a type of lizard tell Joseph smith the location of the golden tablets?
Um... no, that's probably the weirdest rumor about the LDS church I've ever heard. An angel named Moroni, the prophet who hid the gold plates before he died, told Joseph Smith where they were. There is the case of the "Salamander letters", created by con man Mark Hoffman, which letters were allegedly written by Joseph Smith and purported to identify that Moroni had come in the form of a salamander to visit Joseph Smith. However, the Salamander letters were later proven to be forged.
What was the effect of Joseph Smith's murder?
Joseph Smith's murder or martyr took place on June 27, 1844 when a mob of about 100 to 200 men with faces painted black stormed Carthage Jail. The religious intent of Joseph Smith's murder was suppose to bring an end to the LDS/Mormon faith. After Joseph Smith's death many men stepped forward and claimed that they were Joseph Smith's successor. Some believed that Joseph Smith the III, Joseph's son should take the place as leader of the church, essentially this was the start of the RLDS church. Sidney Rigdon, also claimed leadership of the church as he had been in the leadership of the church with Joseph Smith in the early beginnings of the church. However, Sidney Rigdon's association with the church had been marred and at one time he had been almost excommunicated from the church. Rigdon believed that with Joseph Smith's death that no one could take Joseph's place and that there could only be a caretaker of the church. He pronounced that he should be that caretaker. The only other person who stood against this statement was Brigham Young, president of the twelve apostles, who claimed that Rigdon had not been there in many teaching and learning opportunities with the Prophet Joseph Smith. Priot to his death, Joseph Smith spent time teaching and giving instruction to the Twelve Apostles. Brigham Young claimed essentially that this was why Sidney Rigdon's position was faulty. In addition, many of the saints in Nauvoo believed they saw and heard the "mantle" of Joseph Smith fall upon Brigham Young. This was to confirm to many of the LDS Saints that Brigham Young was indeed the next prophet to lead the faith. Other Mormon sects as well sprung up from Joseph Smith's death such as: RLDS, Rigdonites, Strangites, etc.

Who is Joseph smith and mormonism?
Joseph Smith was the person who restored the church. He was the first prophet...but if anybody ever says so, we DO NOT worship him!!!!

Joseph Smith is the founder of this religion, Mormons believe that a more accurate than founder would be restorer as he acted as a servant of God to restore the primitive church read about in the bible.
