Charities. Church. Musical groups. Schools (PTA, etc). Local government.

None of those places is a literal requirement for sustenance, but you do need to work somewhere, and for most people, that somewhere is anywhere that will take you.

Pedantically you are mostly correct. Practically I'm not convinced your distinction is useful.

Practically speaking, having freedom of choice is a big deal. And we are free to choose our churches, whether to engage in our PTA, etc.

We're also free to find new jobs if we don't like them, but it sure is harder than those other choices.
