I agree that words like "nonesense" should be kept out of constructive
discussions.

Could you give some examples where landuse=religious does make sense? I
have not seen any definition for this so far. What would be a religious
activity/usage, that is not worshipping and is not covered by other
landuses? Are you aware of the possibility to add "religion=*" and
"denomination=*" to any feature to mark religious affiliation?

Do you agree on putting amenity=place_of_worship on the sacred area, and
not just on the building (e.g. church)?

FYI, I am mapping in Rome and so far we haven't yet discovered a need for
landuse=religious despite the fact there are really lots of features
related to the catholic church (I have read estimates that one fourth of
the city of Rome is owned by the catholic church).

cheers,
Martin
