"building=* (according to specific function)" - building tag should rather describe how it is constructed. For example warehouse used as place of worship should be tagged as [building=warehouse, amenity=place_of_worship].
There is also case 1.5 - building with focus of worship (for example with altar) and open space surrounding this building is used as a place of worship together with building - for example replicas of the grotto at Lourdes, with building resembling cave structure.
