Being in a similar situation, my advice is to maintain a low profile until you're out of there. I know it may seem very hard, but it's the better way out. If your parents are anything like mine, faith is not up to discussion. When you're independent, they'll just have to deal with that.
I suggest being discrete with your siblings. Trying to prevent their indoctrination is noble, but doing that directly may cause some problems. I'd say encourage them to read, or read to them, try to educate them about religion indirectly. Instead of giving them the answers right away, encourage them to look for them themselves. If they're like you, they'll come to the same conclusion you did.
