If we’re going to make something that goes with the religion tag, we might want
to make it more universal.
There are different shrines for different kinds of buddhas, Different various
shinto gods, and something having to do with the “7 gods” (of which I have no
idea where they come from) here in Japan. There are statues, shrines, temples,
and other building/monuments that are not only for a certain religion and
denomination, but to a specific deity / person / thing . having a tag to
particularly show who/what is enshrined there seems to be a good idea. This
might be flexible enough to handle some secular things as well, like a stature
commemorating a certain event/person/thing that is not directly mentioned in
it’s name.
There might also be a need for "specialty" or something. Many shrines are
known for specific things - go here to pray for a good birth, go here to pray
for health - there is even a shrine for “test taking” near Tokyo University.
People purchase charms there just for their kids / students who are taking
entrance exams (to high school / college). something with tag values such as
=fertility =luck =marriage. But this is a nebulous idea. But as many shrines
are dedicated to a deity for that purpose, this might be redundant information
if you understand the deity worshipped there.
