[Tagging] Religious landuse?

[John Willis]

Mixed use facilities run by a single organization, for example, a temple with a private home, a cemetery, a public recycling center, and a pre-school might have the outer area defined by the landuse=religious tag, and the individual buildings/areas tagged as needed. 

Really, that facility is 1km from my house. Next to my house is another temple with a giant cemetery, temple building, bell tower, private residence, and a public garden. The temple certainly is a place of worship, the garden is not. The cemetery is maintained by the people there, but one would visit the cemetery or garden without going to the temple, or vice versa. They all have different names - I believe even the bell has a name

Landuse=religious gives us a generic tag, like landuse retail or commercial, without having to be so specific.
