How to Map

All places of worship independently of the religion or denomination get the tag amenity=place_of_worship. This covers mosques, churches, cathedrals, synagogues, temples, etc. You can use the keys religion=*, denomination=* and service_times=* for more detailed information.

For example, a church can be tagged with amenity=place_of_worship, religion=christian and building=church.

For a monastery the tag must be put on the church, not on the whole monastery. A draft (still not a proposal) exists for the communities (religious or not).
