Taginfo records things within OSM …
If you want to tag someplace with another religion .. then do so!!!
And then document it in OSM and link that document page to osm.wiki/Key:religion
Job done. I tag what is of interest to me, as do many others who contribute to OSM. If you are concerned with the lack of religious diversity then by all means add the data.

For the most part, the values for the religion tag are just the adjective form that describes the practices at the location. So a place is a Christian church, a Jewish synagogue, a Hindu temple, and so on. I expect a primary reason for the choice is that the adjective forms of religions and denominations tend to be a bit shorter to type than the other forms, but it doesn’t really matter, it doesn’t obscure the meaning.
As far as the many values on taginfo, that’s the way it goes for OpenStreetMap. You anyway can’t force a random contributor to attach a fairly specific meaning to a given key=value pair, so preventing the “obvious” coding errors represented by alternate spellings doesn’t buy a lot, there can still be undetectable misinformation hiding in any object (I expect that the actual error rate is much higher than the 1% or so of values that are just alternate spellings).

Thank both of you for taking time to clarify this.
