> Do religious people go to church daily

Some do. Do people people go to sufficiently sociable cafés daily? Most people go with and talk to people they already know.

>and hold business meetings in church? Do religious people go to a church to do a casual date

Not in church, but with people they meet in church.

> or catch up with friends and associates

A lot of churches do have some socialising after services. Just serving coffee or something afterwards

Even without that people chat on the way out.

> on weekdays?

If you go to church on weekdays

Yes, I am in agreement

I would like to add what many non-religious people (and some "out to lunch" evangelicals) do ot understand about churches (I guess this applies to mosque and synagogue too).

The role of a church is social, not religious. There are religious elements of course, but churches would not be required if it were not for the communities they foster

I assume this is referring to churches in the US? I have never encountered this in Europe
