Ok...so I'm going to write on Le Renegat too...
What struck me the most was the level of unrest in the language. I guess this isn't surprising given the plot, but still the word choices still seemed to be very different from the sensual language of Noces when talking about nature etc., which was quite unexpected. For example, he repeatedly creates images of things bristling, "se herissent" (how do you do accents on this?!), dazzling or shivering (pp42-43), so even though what Camus is describing is very beautiful, you don't get the normal sense of deadly stillness and quiet as you might expect with this kind of scene. There seems to be a permanent sense of suspicion in the language throughout, echoing a plot which is full of traps and unexpected turns for the narrator.
I also found something online which I thought was interesting (can't find it now, sorry! will look later), talking about how Le Renegat is all about repression, throughout the plot people forcing their ideas on others and trying/failing to convert people to their beliefs. This seems to be a common element when Camus is addressing religion, so perhaps what he objects to is not the sentiments in many religions themselves, but more the suggestion that there is only one way of thinking something and the manner in which it is thrust upon it's followers with no allowance for different interpretation/change?
