Are they still used by pagans/new age people? For OSM purposes current usage matters, not origins.

> 4.  Some objects have dual tagging, e.g. religion=christian;pagan or denomination=protestant;roman_catholic Are people happy to have such tagging?

If say church is shared by Roman Catholic parish and Protestant congregation and not
used by other denominations then denomination=protestant;roman_catholic is 100% fine.

It is a bit tricky as at least some religious-run schools have absolutely no trace of religion
in running of school, there is simply a religious owner/operator.

In such cases operator:type=religious would fit better than religion tag

>  8.  There are religion=no, religion=none and denomination=none tags. Should these tags be rationalised or otherwise tidied up?

How this tags are used?

denomination=none seems fine for say ecumenical chapel used by all kinds of denomination
of a given religion...

This may be actually valid.
