If it's not being used as a religious building at the time, charge rent (or make the facilities available for free, their call) for another to use it.

Emerson Unitarian Universalist Church in west Houston is used by Guitar Houston for their completely secular concerts , for example.

Then again, back in the '80s my old church rented out a Grange Hall.

And they're not uncommon polling places. Cover anything political or unduly offensive and there you go. (The first place I voted in Los Angeles was in a church.)
