"The standard bottle opener was made of metal, with a roughly round, oval or triangular open shape at one end to grip the cap.
The shape of the business end of the tool reminded people of the often ornate handles to big, old-fashioned door keys. The link with churches in particular was surely because in the experience of most people such big keys opened church doors. It’s also more than probable that an irreverent joke was attached as well, in that drinking beer was an unchurchly thing to do."
