Like was:amenity=place_of_church on a building=church that is no longer an active place of worship but the building itself is still there and in good condition and being used for something else. However, if the church has closed but is not being used for any other purpose then disused:amenity=church would be more appropriate. Where an object is no longer physically present, such as a telephone booth that has been removed, then removed:amenity=telephone. In the hope that anybody using old imagery and tries to add the phone booth will spot that node saying it was there but has been removed. So if there's an ATM physically present but the power has been permanently turned off then disused:amenity=atm. More likely, the machine has been removed, so removed:amenity=atm. Only if the ATM were still physically present but it had been converted to some other use (like an artwork or a fish tank or something) would was:amenitry=atm fit. Of course, this is OSM, so you're free to do whatever you like, and the above is just my opinion. -- Paul
