When you live in places that don't have churches - churchyard is incorrect - especially when **it isn't mapping a yard**.
I have temple grounds here. So churchyard is also not a neutral tag, therefore it is a garbage tag. It should be depreciated and erased. And there are many complexes that have many many buildings associated with, yet are not a POW, so mapping it as a landuse - like we do for residential/commercial/retail/industrial facilities ***is more consistent***. The front lawn in front of an industrial complex is on landuse=industrial. Same with its office, parking lots, storage sheds, and everything else that isn't a drop forge. The exact same reasoning applies - and applies consistently - to a religious complex that is more than just a church. Would you be complaining that a parking lot for the industrial drop forge - sitting on the named landuse for the industrial facility- isn't right because "that parking lot is not a drop forge! What is the parking lot making? It isn't a factory!!" Thats what I hear when people complain about landuse=religious - "are they worshipping a parking lot?? So stupid!" So myopic. Don't complain about A) what you don't need, yet others do. B) tags meant for a different usage in a different part of the world that may not apply to you and your corner of the globe. And religious facilities may have a very different style, types of buildings, and layout than your bog standard church. Being inflexible enough to not get that only makes you look stupid, not the tag. Javbw.
