  ans' organization, VOLUNTEER FIRE COMPANY, VOLUNTEER  AMBULANCE  COMPANY
  or  corporation or association organized and conducted in good faith for

  ciation of a school, notwithstanding that secular subjects are taught at
  such school, or from a community residence  as  defined  in  subdivision

  less of the type of service offered, for any  gas  or  electric  service

  gious  purposes  or  utilized  exclusively  at  such community residence
