<p>As a perhaps helpful example, near my old home in Portland, OR, USA there was a "retreat" facility operated by the catholic diocese. It featured extensive grounds that you might call a park, except that they were fenced and intended for religious or reflective use, with shrines and such placed throughout. This is visible in iD at <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?relation=186579#map=18/45.49915/-122.61703">https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?relation=186579#map=18/45.49915/-122.61703</a>, and you will see that it is currently not marked with any polygon (although there is a point for the church and school with the same operator).</p>
<p>I think there should be a polygon for this site, but a 'park' tagging is not really appropriate since it is not open to the public and not intended for many of the uses of a park anyway (e.g. you wouldn't run your dog there). But I'm not sure how it being out of public access changes the situation.</p>

<br /><br /><br clear="all" />I agree that words like "nonesense" should be kept out of constructive discussions. <br /><br /></div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Could you give some examples where landuse=religious does make sense? I have not seen any definition for this so far. What would be a religious activity/usage, that is not worshipping and is not covered by other landuses? Are you aware of the possibility to add "religion=*" and "denomination=*" to any feature to mark religious affiliation?<br /><br /></div>
<div class="gmail_extra">Do you agree on putting amenity=place_of_worship on the sacred area, and not just on the building (e.g. church)?<br /><br /></div>
<div class="gmail_extra">FYI, I am mapping in Rome and so far we haven't yet discovered a need for landuse=religious despite the fact there are really lots of features related to the catholic church (I have read estimates that one fourth of the city of Rome is owned by the catholic church).<br /><br /></div>
