Hi,
This email is off-list. Thank you for the feedback - I'll wait for more people
to comment before I answer your questions..
In the Republic of Ireland, religion is fairly all-pervasive in schools.
Religious organisations own the vast majority of schools, school boards pray at
the start of board meetings, there are crucifixes in most classrooms, teachers
need to be certified to teach religion or it is difficult to get a job, there
are no Sunday schools. Inter-Denominational and Multi-Denominational schools
only account for 5% of schools and 7% of students. Non-Denominational schools
are essentially non-existent. The religious organisations subvert the
Department of Education.
Northern Ireland isn't much different.
The below data is for primary schools in the Republic of Ireland.

Are they still used by pagans/new age people? For OSM purposes current usage
matters, not origins.

If say church is shared by Roman Catholic parish and Protestant congregation

fine.

It is a bit tricky as at least some religious-run schools have absolutely no
trace of religion
in running of school, there is simply a religious owner/operator.
In such cases operator:type=religious would fit better than religion tag

How this tags are used?
denomination=none seems fine for say ecumenical chapel used by all kinds of
denomination
of a given religion...

This may be actually valid.
