Right time for sweeping statements. When I lived in the city, the playgroups I went to were in church halls but there was never any pressure to join the church, or talk about religion. It was just a place to drink coffee while the kids played. But out in the sticks, the local church owns all the mums groups and they talk about beliefs and stuff. The play group leaders also tell holy stories.
Am working at home today and I can hear them all yahooing in the church hall. I have no doubt that they are having great fun and the kids love it.
However I don't want my kids to go because I don't like having this stuff shoved down my throat.
AIBU to want to use their toys and tea but not their opinions? I would add that it is not my religion, but I do have respect for churches that do stuff for the community, especially as "my" church (I say "my" but I hardly ever go) does nothing for the community.

AIBU?
To think that playgroups/toddler groups shouldn't be churchy even if they are held in a church hall?
