To me, it's not strange at all.  To me, the place of worship is the
church and all related grounds, just as a school is the buildings and
all related grounds. Now, just because a church owns a building, that
doesn't make it a place of worship, but the immediate grounds of a
church are, to me.

On the other hand, I have no problem with using landuse = religious if
that's what is decided.  It will certainly make it easier to mark
those sites where you have a church,  church school and other
functions all in one spot.  But then we have to start making edge
decisions on that.  Is a church run orphanage landuse = religious?
How about a church run unemployed support centre? (gives out food,
clothes, advice and help to get jobs, etc)
