I'm not sure "church grounds" is a place of worship. People don't usually
worship God in an organized manner besides the church.

I know of some churches in Croatia where there is an altar and pews out in
the open [1]. I think these kinds of setups are the only cases where you
map amenity=place_of_worship not as a building (at least in christian
religion).
