A place of worship serves as a meeting place, a place to celebrate or
remember and as a focal point of a community. Some places of worship
are useful in navigation as a distinctive or tall building.
The Project of the Week is to add local places of worship to the map.

Can we have some sub-categories for place of worship? e.g Church, Synagogue, Mosque, Hindu Temple, Buddhist Temple.
Of course! Have a look at the religion and denomination tags which are sub-categories for places or worship. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:religionhttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:denomination
