Religious beliefs aside, most people will “shop” for a new church based on amen-ities.

No, but I once stayed at a church for the amen-ities.
And also because I didn’t have anywhere else to turn.

What does every good church need?
A great hall-elujah and amen-ities.
I’ll see myself out.

No, no , no: it’s “amen-ities” as in offering praise you’ve found somewhere to relieve yourself. Often preceded by a silent “God, where’s the bloody toilets?”
