If it looks like a church then OSM uses building=church.

So why not use building=pub???

Ok the renders may not presently use the information .. but it does tag 
the truth?

So .. once the tagging is done .. how would you render a building that 
is a church/pub but no longer functions as a church/pub? That is the 
problem.
