I would say a synagogoue or Jewish graveyard as holy ground, stone hendge, Mayan temples and any other place of worship for other religions I call repectful grounds.

The Earth. But I would use the word 'sacred'.
It is so precious and singular, that I can't understand why we would want to accelerate extinction and poison it.
"When people recognize a spiritual essence shared by the world around them, their interactions with the land take on a quality of reverence and respect. Instead of being one-sided, with the humans taking what they need and not giving back, these relationships become mutual, based on reciprocity.
"Nobody owns the land," explains Virginia Poole (Seminole/Miccosukee). "We said we'd watch over it, because that's our responsibility. You take care of the land, and it takes care of you."

There is no such thing today as 'holy ground.' True Christians who really know the Bible will tell you that this term is only used by the enemies of God.

Isn't "holy" ground only those places where God actually is at that moment?

God told Moses to take off his sandals, for he was standing on Holy ground.
Take it in that context.
Thus Jerusalem, is the Holy City.
Stonehedge is not.

Nobody worships their god because he is god - only because he is theirs.
Many of your answers have already confirmed this. I prophesy that there will be others which will also show this.
