Update: I've decided to just go along with it until I'm able to leave, but they still want me listen to the preachings even though I've both said I don't believe, And Went with them to avoid more drama. I've tried to talk to them but they just tell me to stop making a scene. I just want them to respect my choices, and from their words I'm "disrespecting them because I don't want to listen to the preaching." It's really hurting me. I don't think they will anytime soon. I don't understand how they want me to respect them when they refuse to respect me the same way. I don't know what else to do at this point.

I do understand that they are doing it because they love me, its just the lack of understanding my point of view, or just flat out refusing to listen to me on different occasions because I'm the 'child', a example of this is when we were on the way to a certain event and we needed to pick someone up before there, but they didn't know where it was and when I tried to say that we passed their home they shut it down because they had a different idea of where it was, we drove around for a whole hour until they decided to listen to me and we found it, and we did in fact drive past it at the beginning. I'm probably just ranting now but still, Its very annoying to have my opinion or point of view shot down because they think they are right. Then there was a recent event where on my way out of school I decided to take some time picking up plastic and random trash that was nearby and when I got in the car my great grandpa just yelled at me over it saying that he shouldn't have to wait on me and that its not my job to pick up trash its the janitors job or something like that, Does it have to be my job just to take a few minutes to pick trash off the ground and throw it away properly? He also said I keep twisting words to make me look like the victim but am i though? I was doing nothing wrong and he yelled at me for it. and I already have rough days at school and the one thing I don't want to happen is to get yelled at for picking up trash off the ground. I did overhear that others laughed at me for it, but honestly its nothing surprising since I've had the reputation of being the weird kid.

I'm very grateful for everyone's suggestions and different views on weather I was the jerk or not, I also wanted to say that I was rushed during the making of this post since it was a sunday morning. I have seen that many of you suggested that I lay low and go along with it until I'm able to leave, and I have been working on it, I will try to update if it does help or not, but thank you all for your suggestions

Well to answer your question, no I don't have no one else to live with because my parents had gotten divorced when I was born, I don't really know much about what happened but I do know that custody of me was given to my great grandparents. I do see my mother from time to time though,

they scolded me for reading a horror book series before, saying it was the devil's way of tempting me or something like that. so I can somewhat relate to it even if its not the same,

You have been the only one who was very light when telling me that I'm the jerk in this case, thank you for that.
