No. _I_ (& thousands of other contributors) assess churches
& other buildings by the sign above the door. When the sign is
removed because it _stops_ being a church, the building tag is
changed.<br>

Note, you're assessing them, by their visual style.<br>

"Style" is what something looks like (kind of ornament and
decoration or absence of it, colors, shape, etc. both referring to
the inside and outside) <br>
<br>
This is how Yves assessed: "because the building have a church
architecture". Have you not heard the expression 'built in the
architectural *style* of...'? <br>
Just because a building looks like how you guess a church should
appear, it doesn't actually mean it is, or was ever, a church. <br>

<br>
But when a church (or whatever...) stops being a church, it stops
*working* as a church. Its function isn't to be a church.<br>
<br>
The glass shoe: If that became, say, a bingo hall, & you walked
past it for the first time, how "would _you_ perceive it as a
church" "type"? What knowledge & evidence would you be using?<br>

If I was to build a residential property in a style that I,
or more <br>
importantly, you perceive as a church; & to then say it
should be tagged <br>
as a church, even though it's *never* been one, is
ridiculous.<br>
<br>
The building:use tag inappropriately expects contributors to
make <br>
guesses bases purely on a building's visual appearance.<br>
<br>
What does a 'architecturally like a church' church look
like? it's so <br>
varied.</blockquote>

<div>you are confusing "type" and "style". The building=church
tag is not necessarily about what would _you_ perceive as a
church, but about what the locals using it can perceive as a
church. No issue with the examples you have shown. Both seem
to clearly provide mostly a big space suitable for celebrating
a religious service, which is what churches are mostly built
for. And both are "iconic" or at least standing out from the
other buildings in the area.</div>
<div>There is no need for a bell tower or something like this,

<div>"Style" is what something looks like (kind of ornament and

is about how a building works, how it is organized/structured.
