No value has been documented so far for rooms dedicated for worshipping
without being limited to a specific religion. It is useful however so
a renderer could apply a specific icon, and a mapper sees that it is not
just forgotten.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:religion

Such rooms are found e.g. in public environments with a multi-cultural
audience, such as airports or universities, often called "prayer room"
or "quiet room".

My favourite would be "multi" as is is concise and also used in sport=multi,
while "multifaith" is a bit longer but slightly more self-explanatory.
"multi_cultural" has not bee used so far, and probably not better than "multifaith".

Current usage:

BTW, is correcting capitalised values to lowercase allowed or is that
already considered a Mechanical Edit?
