Describing other grounds - education, retail, industrial, etc all fall under landuse. I don't see why religious institutions would be excepted, as the purpose of the land and the facilities on it (overall) are religious, certainly not commercial or retail.

I understand, but it is really hard for me to see how religious institutions fit under the existing big Retail/Industrial/Residential/Commercial landuses, similar with my loooong thread a bout landuse=civic.

I would tag a curch grounds as landuse religious, and the building with the place_of_worship tag, just like landuse=retail 
and building=shop 

I really like the idea of  generic landuse tags with specific building tags, and I've been trying to get landuses to filling the 2 or 3 missing major landuse types [some feel] are missing.  Landuse=religion fills one of those. 

We have enough tags to fill out the detail on the rest. 

Maybe it's more about missing consistency than anything.
