I'm inferring that you're one of the developers on the project, and not actually responsible for delivery of the product. So, my suggestion is to talk to the people who do have that responsibility, state your concerns clearly, briefly, and without confrontation or rancor. Suggest a couple of things that would be the easiest to do and have some positive effect (reduce or eliminate testing of trivial code, increase focus of the sprints on features).
Even if the people with responsibility for delivery are the biggest proponents of the team's current methodology, they should feel some concern as they see the project slipping away from them. And so they may eventually inform the team that they came up with a great idea, which is to reduce testing and shift focus to implementing features (snark).
So, seek out allies, state your concerns, and try to build your credibility. Culture is hard to change, though, and so ultimately it may come down to finding a new one. Good luck!
