No. They have a different semantic.

building=* describes the type of the building.
place_of_worship=* describes the type of the place_of_worship.

In particular if the POW is _not_ in a building, or a building, the building=* key cannot be applied.

Further I cannot agree to mark tags like place_of_worship=chapel as a "tagging mistake",
as currently done on the wiki, it is just a different semantic focus by the mapper using it.
