Your government (I'm assuming you live in the USA || Canada) supports "Houses of Worship" through tax exemptions. I'd feel like I was finally getting some value out of a church if a conference was held there.

edit: Added Canada; we do the same.

I'm in the UK actually, but I do believe recognised religions get some forms of tax breaks in the UK as well though I'm not complealty sure.
