It seems like they are cutting as much symbolism as they can out of the shots they decide to keep in the show but every other episode feels like " We're a family with 9 kids and everyone is homeschooled. Oh yeah and we just happen to be active in our church too."

Like, no shit you're active in the church.. Normal people do not have a quiver full of isolated kids like that. It's not normal or healthy.

Other cultures definitely do it better. Right wing American families tend to be isolationist and distrustful of outsiders, and so they don't have close knit communities like this. There's also a lot of turmoil and bickering about the fine print of religion that makes them not get along with each other, at least that's how my childhood was.
