That might be generally true, I don't have wide enough experience to say. But in the urban core of large cities, churches are frequently a resource for acute needs. When I was homeless I took refuge from bad weather in them, charged my phone, shaved in their bathrooms, etc. Shit one time I went in one to figure out the time and the priest walked me to CVS and replaced the battery in my watch. Some or most of them probably do operate like you say but I don't think it's evenly distributed because I never ran into that in cities. Usually if they didn't want to provide services they were just closed except during worship hours. But evangelical megachurches are underrepresented in urban cores compared to their national presence, which may play a role in my experiences.
