Thanks for this insight, I never considered that this was the case. I 
think relation:worship=route is a dud, as there are probably not many 
more worship relations.
So it should be X=worship. What would you suggest for X? An "Amenity" 
relation?

So what's the difference between route=hiking and route=foot?
And what if the relation can be done with a multitude of modes?

Thinking about it, maybe route isn't a good relationship type as, in my 
proposal, I allow the relationship to be without the actual route, just 
the order of points: Stops are mandatory, route (ways) are optional.

Any suggestion?

If you think like that, then a wayside cross isn't an amenity either.
