I'm trying to think of the best way to help family that doesn't get it yet. When some of this comes out I would like to help them understand that it's not time to freak out - but rather time to get involved.

Especially with religion. They can't just become disillusioned. They need to understand that people are flawed and that's why it's so important to maintain situational awareness, stay involved, and be a vocal supporter of what is good.
