I've had too many Jewish friends who don't like the use of "temple" unless it's referring to the one in Jerusalem. When I'm going to Jewish services with friends, more often than not we're going to shul -- but these friends will refer to it as a synagogue unless they know everyone in the group will know what "shul" means.

I'd prefer "place of worship" as the generic term, as I know multiple "set aside" spots that are outdoors. But I don't know anyone who uses "place/house of worship" in the singular, only in the plural as an intentionally all-encompassing collective.
