Far Cry 5: 5 Things We Learned From E3 2017

Since you know you're not alone in suffering oppression from the cult, there's only one thing you can do - resist. Obviously you can't do it alone, so you need others, who are also excluded from the society because they don't agree with the Father's rigorous and instrumental treatment of religion.

You built up the resistance just the way you learn about the world - through conversations. You gather more and more allies, until you're able to set the whole of Hope County free.
