I hate it when it turns out I'm not a paraoid nutjob...

Does not sound like a church to me. Doesn't look like one, either.

It's owned by the church, and they perform church services there. What more do you want? There's no cosmetic standard for churches that I'm aware of.

In other words: are religious considerations inherently superior to non-religous considerations?

I think so, yes. Our constitution makes special allowances for the free practice of religion. Regardless, I would support the right of a restaurant owner to make any stupid decision that they want. It's their property, it's their business, it's their labor.
