[Tagging] Religious landuse

[John Packer]

Hi,

How did this topic turn out in the end?

The wiki page Tag:landuse=religious [1] was translated to yet another
language (japanese), and this tag is getting more uses (most likely due to
being included as a preset in JOSM[2]), so I assume it's becoming de facto

I'm not against landuse=religious, but I'm not satisfied with it's current
description:

> The area surrounding a amenity=place_of_worship used for religious purposes


I believe a tag such as landuse=religious is inevitably going to be used as
indicating any kind of religious activity, not necessarily with
amenity=place_of_worship.
Also, I believe amenity=place_of_worship is enough for indicating the
religious area in most cases.

Cheers,
John
