They have a built-in reason for everyone to attend even when they don't need help, which keeps a church a community center rather than a welfare office. And they have better coffee cake than any atheist could ever make.

Churches keep their prices down because people volunteer. In my former church in Iowa, the pastor asked for volunteers to clean the church and people showed up.
