+1 Having a landuse for “religion” seems simple to understand, simple to implement, and simple to parse when thinking of the facility as a single thing with many amenities - like a mall, office complex, or another large establishment that handles lots of visitors visitors and offers them amenities.
I like landuse=religious and use it frequently. In fact, I would use it more often except that we can't seem to come to an agreement about its validity. Here in Thailand practically every wat (temple) is surrounded by a wall and the area thus enclosed is easy to see in aerials and easy to tag. It makes perfect sense to tag such areas with a landuse, just as we do for a mall, commercial, industrial, or retail landuses.
