[Data-modeling] Religion domain: churches => places of worship

[Robert Cook]

Generally, it's important to have more than a topic name and a type,  
which is what you would get if you simply used list loader to create  
new topics.

I just uploaded 639 buddhist temples, hindu temples and shinto  
shrines, with the religion and "type of place of worship" properties  
filled out.  Also, where I had location information in those list  
pages, I added a "/location/contained_by" property value.
