The diction correlates to a lack of education but I can't quite find where you are meaning. Can you quote a sentence from this section?

The preacher started talking in actual English, more or less. He spoke with a hillbilly accent so thick it was almost as hard to understand as the tongues. He asked all them good folk out there who'd been helped by this here channeling of the Lord's spirit to send contributions. Dad came into the kitchen and listened. "It's the sort of soul­curdling voodoo," he said, "that turned me into an atheist."
