 that is not a problem, as multi doesn't exclude all, but all requires 
 all

Indeed, it is not a problem, it is a solution ! :)
Use two values for slightly different concepts.
multi == multifaith == multiconfessional == various == value1;value2;...
all == non-denominational == nondenominational == all_religions ==
every_religion

Anyway I hope that Andy aka SomeoneElse li...@atownsend.org.uk can

@John
I guess this is a reply to my idea of separate tagging:

A.
 non-denominational places (Airport chapels ...)
religion=all
(OR religion=nondenominational)

B.
 places shared between faiths (but specific faiths, not all faiths)
religion=multi + religion:religion1=yes + religion:religion2=yes
(OR religion=religion1;religion2 but you are into semi-colon value separator)

My idea was to answer to SomeoneElse in
https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2015-January/020865.html

I don't propose to discard multi for all. Instead I consider if
there is value to use both, religion=all in some cases and
religion=multi in other cases.


 Allis not good, [...]
 Similarly, animal sacrifice and practicing voodoo at the airport's prayer 
 room might get you arrested.

Oh my. It does not mean voodoo practionners are not allowed into the
prayer room as long as they respect country and airport laws and
regulations. This is not a question of restricted access or restricted
faith/religion but of adaquate behaviour.
I have never seen a sign 'no voodoo' on the prayer room of any
airport. If this prayer room with this sign does exist, then it could
be defined as multi. Or all + religion:voodoo=no.
[[[ [heavy sarcasm] Did you know that every religion has at least one
practice not suitable for a prayer room, name it: flogging
(self-inflicted flagellation), stoning (lapidation), circumcision, ...
Should we ban every religion from prayer rooms? ]]]

I think the spirit of these prayer rooms is to welcome anyone, from all faiths.
From the website of airports:
multi-faith prayer rooms in each terminal at Heathrow. (against voodoo?) ;-)
a prayer room for all faiths and denominations at Stansted.
We welcome people of all faiths to join us in our chapel and prayer

I think they are definitively for worshiping and prayers.
amenity=place_of_worship is pretty clear for me.

Being different from the regular religious place, not consecrated, no
significant architecture, they are not
building=church/mosque/temple/*.
Indoor mapping might tell you room=chapel or room=prayer_room instead.

I'd say they are places where people go for worshipping, and for practicability
they are provided religion-neutral, thus yes. If you climb a mountain that has
a chapel on top, this is also not your normal place, but one during travel.

 But couldn't the sharing be inter-denominational, rather than
 inter-religion?

 As I see it:

 1. No specific religion, such as rooms at hospitals, airports etc.
 2. Shared places where different religions/denominations preach/perform
 services at separate times.
 3. Shared places where different religions/denominations preach/perform

As above, I would avoid the term 'denomination' in the value,
to avoid confusion within the religion/denomination hierarchy in OSM,
but the definition is good for the explanation, e.g.:

religion=m..

A non-denominational or multi-faith facility that allows followers of 
different religions
to practice their own faith in a quiet environment. Examples are prayer rooms 
or
quiet rooms in airports and other multi-cultural environments.

 I don't know about declarations of faith, but the torch is symbolic of
 one god stealing fire from Zeus and then hot footing it.

AFAIK, the god would be the very human Prometeus, to be picky (I may
be wrong). But seriously, do you see people hoping that the torch will
give them eternal life, happiness after death or such? By that

 temples, pyramids in Egypt and south America, Stone Henge in the UK
 and native scared sites in various countries from various primitive
 cultures.


actually I wouldn't consider the pyramids a place_of_worship in the
first place (for this purpose there have been temples in Egypt as
well). What about man_made=mausoleum?

I should have been clear that I was just talking about places of
worship but religious locations in general.

But Liz's point still stands, dumping all the various cultural
religious identities under the pagan or even neo-pagan banner seems
wrong to me, when there was and still is a lot of diversity both past
and present in belief systems.

If we're going to do that, we might as well dump the christians, jews
and muslims under the banner of religion=abrahamic, since it would be
effectively the same thing.

 If Neopaganism is what is meant, then why wasn't it used?


+1

I also think that neopagan is closer to what is probably meant and
avoid confusion with the christian point of view of seeing all
non-christians as pagans.

The dictionary definition of pagan is closer to what Liz wrote,
paganism is any religions that isn't based on Abraham with a single
god (eg Christian, Jewish and Muslim).

Even though many past religions may no longer be practiced, I don't
think it's a good idea to lump non-Abrahamic monotheistic religions
together under a single banner. Buildings/temples and other places of
worship still exist from these religions, like ancient Greek and Roman
temples, pyramids in Egypt and south America, Stone Henge in the UK
and native scared sites in various countries from various primitive
cultures.

That actually makes sense to some extent, there is various branches of
christianity that differ considerable from each other, similar to how
judaism differs from christianity even though they had the same
beginning.

No, a major belief system has subcategories. that's not a problem
but I don't think that the items grouped as pagan are subcategories of a 
major belief system called 'pagan

The other extreme is to classify the three Abrahamic religions as abrahamic, 
then christian, judaism, islam

 This argument not withstanding, the initial issue you brought up seems
 a non-issue, as the term Pagan is used in the sense that Cartinus
 illustrated, as shorthand for NeoPaganism, rather than as as a
 classification for any non-Jewish/Chritian/Islamic religion.
 
 So can we end this thread?

Neopaganism as an overall term could meet Roy's standards of verifiability.
