Default I will be gone to a Christian camp for a week. God help me.

I will be going to this Christian summer camp for a week starting Sunday. This is apparently a place to discuss and reflect on God.
The point is I got kicked out of their "creationist science" class a few years ago for arguing with the "teacher" about natural selection and carbon dating, and later their Bible study class for pointing out Bible verses encouraging slavery, male domination, and other things modern Christians like to pretend aren't in there.
I also made a few people upset when I encouraged other campers to read books I had brought (The Art of War, Reefer Madness, 1984, ect.) Apparently, Harry Potter is ok but a copy of the Qur’an is not.

I believe in God, but not in the people who believe in God, because every last one of them (including me) lose their "morals" and "ideas" when they think no one is looking. I do not believe in the church and basically have not found one that is not corrupt in some way.

But I am back at this camp at 18 years old (because people at my current church are paying me to watch the kids that are going) and I will have the same problems of pointing out hypocrisy and flaws in fundamentalism and strict traditionalism without proper context of the word.

I need to find a way to relate my ideas of modern corruption and hypocrisy of tradition of the word but without enraging the people of the camp. My goal is to educate, not to criticize(intentionally). Mostly I remind people of the few important verses of hypocrisy and verses of the right to question faith:

Jeremiah 8,8 "How can you say /we are wise because we have the word of the Lord./ when your teachers have twisted it so badly?"

1 Thess. 5: 21"Test everything"
