the movie based on this essentially showed the mom was targeted as crazy because she was a devout Christian...and Meryl Streep was really wonderful in playing the innocent mom.

When I watch it, I see how Christians in the future will be targeted and convicted for made up crimes.

As for camping with a 2 month old: Why not? Mom was breastfeeding, and the camp was comfortable...

Not really. The parents were devout Seventh Day Adventists, not well-known in Oz at the time, and the church was portrayed in the Oz media as a crazy child-killing cult.

Something to keep in mind. One person's Church is often another's Cult.
