Joseph Smith had limited involvement with organized religion in his early childhood.. He attended meetings of several different religions but was not a "member" of any one religious sect..

Actually, he was considered an excellent Methodist 'exhortor' for a young man (mid teens). Curiously, this was supposedly AFTER his talk with God who told them not to join a church. He never told the minister about it, so the 'persecution' thing is difficult to verify.
Ah, these kids - they never listen to what you tel 'em...
