To be honest I don't really mind if it renders on the default renderer or
not, I care what the data says. People can and do make their own maps, if I
want a map to show ruined buildings to capture all the data at the moment
you need to check for both those tags.

Both mean there is an intact building there, in one case it's a place of
worship that's closed down/not operating but still has some evidence on the
ground that it's a place of worship. The other case, it says nothing about
place_of_worship.

Okay so I'll ask you a question then, on the ground what's the difference
between building=yes+ruins=yes and ruins:building=yes.

In what on the ground situation would you have one render but the other one
not render?
