I am working on a project and need to represent "Places of Worship" on a map with an icon. Is there any symbol that would be the most appropriate?

A diamond shape. I think that it could denote spirituality (light within) yet be a mundane and common enough shape to offend the least amount of people.

A religion symbol would be better to represent "Place of Worship", e.g cross for christians, star for jews and a moon for muslims.

it's much better if you specify the religion e.g cross for christians, moons and the star thingy islam and so on!!otherswise, there isn't a single symbol for all religions.it's much better when you specify the reader will understand better if they know the religion for that specific place of worship. it would be abit awkward to burst into a mosque wearing hot pants thinking it'syour kind of worship house now wouldn't?

KAABA IN HOLY CITY OF MECCA WHERE MORE THEN 3 MILLION PEOPLE WORSHIP IN HAJJ SEASON
AND EVERY TIME WHENEVER YOU GO THERE YOU WILL SEE AT LEAST MILLION PEOPLE PRESENT TO WORSHIP THERE LORD
KAABA IS THE SYMBOL OF UNITY WHEREVER YOU ARE WHENEVER YOU OFFER SALAH OF FIVE TIMES A DAY YOU FACE TOWARDS KAABA
WHEN WE OFFER SALAH WE STAND TOGETHER NO MATTER POOR OR RICH BLACK OR WHITE SHORT OR TALL DOESN'T MATTER
ALL WE SHOULD KNOW THAT WE ARE MUSLIM'S THAT'S IT

One Icon really isn't appropriate; an icon for the religion represented.

Someone gave a thumbs down, but if you use ANY shape, it's likely to have some double meaning which WILL offend someone.

H.O.W. = House of Worship, perhaps?
