religious center

Place of worship

A religious center is a building or complex where members of a faith gather for worship, study, and community activities.

The term is deliberately broad, encompassing churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, and similar facilities without specifying denomination: The new religious center serves the growing Hindu population.

It often appears in zoning discussions and interfaith contexts where neutral language is preferred.
