you are confusing "type" and "style". The building=church tag is not
necessarily about what would _you_ perceive as a church, but about what the
locals using it can perceive as a church. No issue with the examples you
have shown. Both seem to clearly provide mostly a big space suitable for
celebrating a religious service, which is what churches are mostly built
for. And both are "iconic" or at least standing out from the other
buildings in the area.
There is no need for a bell tower or something like this, in order to be a
church, although this is what I would expect locally.

"Style" is what something looks like (kind of ornament and decoration or
absence of it, colors, shape, etc. both referring to the inside and
outside) , the building typology is about how a building works, how it is
organized/structured.

Cheers,
Martin
