Are you saying that the overarching message of the show is that churches are bad and government is good? It must hurt your brain to reinterpret a show about motherhood, identity and geneticists that way. It isn't anti-Christian propaganda, though it doesn't paint geneticists in the best light (until you remember Cosima).
Besides which, Helena wasn't driven to psychosis and trained to kill by priests, and Sarah has definite problems with respecting authority and self-control; the story begins with her stealing cocaine from her drug-dealing boyfriend. One of the many birth-related issues explored is this show is parenting and the absence thereof. Many of the clones suffer due to distant or absent parents and the blurring/substitution of doctors and scientists for parents.
Helena talks strangely because English is her second language, not because she's uneducated. Her cross is that she's an outsider with experiences and pain that no one else possesses.
And how exactly does Sarah "go to the government"?
I suppose that someone who had a clue might complain that the series seems to be anti-science, but I wouldn't distill a work of fiction to a single message. If a series is really that simple and manipulative, it's probably not worth watching.
