Defines the subgroup (denomination) of a specific religion. Should be used together with religion=* and a primary feature tag such as amenity=place_of_worship, landuse=religious, or amenity=school.
The following is a non-exhaustive list of denominations for the purpose of consistency in tagging. Please add to the list as items occur.
In case of multiple denominations applying (for example two groups sharing a place of worship) semicolon-delimited tagging can be used, for example religion=christian + denomination=anglican;methodist.
