Municipalities are allowed to grant non-profit preferential treatment to overtly religious organizations, so long as the use they are putting the public resource is no itself overtly religious. Soup Kitchen? Fine. Soup Kitchen with a sermon? Not so much.
It's the same mode of treatment as for discriminatory membership, and for the same reasons.
