Okay. I'll think about that.
Right off-hand, I'd think, "There has to be a better way!" but I can't think of what it is, immediately.
Unless...it's uprooting your entire family and moving them 2,000 miles away to a place where you believe people share your best values--and not just on Sunday, actually all day, every day. For the reasons you've stated here, I think I've just moved my family to a place where we will be waking up in the morning at church, going to church all day, and laying down at night in a bed that is inside the church...which is our entire cultural ecosystem*
I love the story about the Pastor throwing the Bible on the ground. What you should have done is made an aggressive attempt to identify every person who was smart enough to understand what he was saying and, then, START YOUR OWN CHURCH. I've always liked smaller churches.
*and also, our church doesn't include ignorant, hateful beliefs
