But in general you have be careful about what you say about someone *else's* religion. See tod_hollykim's comment below. I prefer "house of worship", myself, for the generic case.
I've found useful a book called How to be a Perfect Stranger: The Essential Religious Etiquette Handbook (mmm,,,... 4th edition now). That is, what do and don't you want to do and say when attending an event in someone else's religion? (Catholic wedding and Jewish shiva are two that come to mind.)
