Places where the grounds are tagged with amenity=place_of_worship and not
just the main building:

Tokyo, Japan: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gi
Manila, Philippines: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gj
Singapore: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gk
Beijing, China: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gl
Bangalore, India: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gm
Bangkok, Thailand: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/4gn

I don't know which areas around the world you have looked at but from my
point of view, tagging the grounds is clearly not an outlier method of
tagging but is completely valid.
