yes, this is simple.

In case of religious things you will also have a "religion" attribute. You could of course add additional landuse tags, but how would that bring a benefit? The civic landuse sounds more interesting, because the list of possible building types and users can be quite long and there is no religion-like common attribute (or is it?). Cheers, Martin
