+1. I've always ignored the fact that the main rendering draws
amenity=place_of_worship in a really dark color and I tag the whole church
grounds as amenity=place_of_worship and tag the church building itself with
building=church. This is similar to how I tag the whole school grounds with
amenity=school.

I remember a discussion about a proposed tag landuse=institutional or
similar for things like these earlier this year:
