Yes, Neal Shusterman did give some subtle hints throughout the story as to what unwinding was and how the characters felt about it. Marcus makes it blatantly obvious he was not in support of the idea of tithing with his speech at Lev's tithing party. We get hints of Pastor Dan's opinions even at Lev's tithing party though, (but as you said, they are very subtle):
"Pastor Dan, who was always so good at looking people in the eye, now looks away. 'It was decided before you were born. It's not anything you did, or didn't do'" (32).
Here we see that Pastor Dan is having a hard time with his faith and beliefs, his inability to look Lev in the eye hints that Pastor Dan is not fully okay with unwinding.
