Some examples: Buddhist temples in Tokyo, Japan: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gi Catholic churches in Manila, Philippines: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gj Buddhist, Hindu, Methodist, and Muslim places of worship in Singapore: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gk Buddhist temples in Beijing, China: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gl Hindu temples and Christian churches in Bangalore, India: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gm Buddhist temples in Bangkok, Thailand: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gn I would like to see how you came up with the "90% of them are buildings" statistic.
