should use a secondary wikipedia tag - linking from wikipedia tag to a religious denomination
linked wikidata entry (Q846770)(Redeemed Christian Church of God article) is about a religious denomination, so it is very unlikely to be correct
subject:wikipedia=* tag would be probably better (see https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:wikipedia#Secondary_Wikipedia_links for full list of what else may be applicable)
in case of change remember to add such prefix (or remove) wikidata tag if it is present
