"multi" is not the same as "any/all" !

If I am looking for a cemetery for the A religion, I can do a query 
overpass with religion=A or religion=any. the locations found will match 
my request.

but you can't do anything with multi.
maybe the place matches, maybe the place doesn't match.

so I still believe that using "multi" for "any" is a mistake.
and in the case where multi actually means "more than one",
it would be best to encode the 2-3 religions in question so that the 
data could be used. otherwise multi look like as "several, but I didn't 
encode the detail so you don't know, go see for yourself", this doesn't 
provide any additional information about the absence of religion tag.

Regards,
Marc
