I'm looking to get info on all churches across the US. Specifically, I'd love to get:
- Their address
- Denomination
- Active/Not
- Contact Info (website, email, phone)
and any other info I can get.
Thanks

I would use the Open StreetMap data with Nominatom for your base file.
This should get you #1 and you can get #2 just by text mining their titles.
For #3 I believe the closest you'll get is just to use the most recent available data.
For #4 I think you'd need to do original data scraping from the Internet - at least to get their websites (I'm not sure on this one, actually).
