[Developers] /people/religion type soon to be removed

[Darin Wilson]

In this specific case, we had a single type called "religion" in the  
"people" domain, and as we looked into expanding the data around  
religion, we realized that we needed a number of other types to cover  
the space thoroughly. This led to the creation of a new "religion"  
domain that could hold all of the religion-related types, as it  
didn't seem appropriate to keep things like "religious organization"  
in the "people" domain.

Strictly speaking, type names don't have to be related to the domains  
they're in, but I think it makes things more lucid if they do.
