The convention exists because the grounds in which a place of worship exists are rarely places of worship themselves. Try conducting a marriage in a churchyard (probably the tag you are looking for landuse=churchyard<http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/landuse=churchyard>, to heavily used but in existence) instead of a church: you need one of the new-fangled expensive wedding licences. Or telling my local vicar and his wife that they live in a place of worship.
The churchyard belonging to my mother's church contains, inter alia, two places of worship (CoE and a Nigerian church), a gym (amenity=fitness) , YMCA hostel, two private residences (rented out by the parish)., and as far as I can make out a small urban farm. As an alternative we could just take a Quaker view and say all of life is holy and just tag an object bbox -180,-90,180,90 with amenity=place_of_worship and be done with it.
