Religion and Law

[Ebowed]

It is the quality of the laws, not what they are based on, that matters.

I agree.

It is completely unconstitutional that businesses are forced to close on Sunday. 

How so?

To do so establishes a State bias or support of a particular religion, Emsworth.  Nothing could be more obvious.

Actually, no it doesn't, unless the law that forces businesses to close on Sunday states specifically that it is done so because some religions mandate a day of rest.  Of course, you are more concerned with nonexistant religious bias than the fact that such a law would force an employer to do something that the government should not force him to do... that is where the invasion of freedom lies.

You don't honestly think these places would keep people working for twenty-four hours straight do you?  If I worked under that sort of condition I'd just quit.

The intention is not obvious, either way, of a law that can be open to different interpretations.  For example, if it is not done for religious reasons, it could be done for worker's rights regulations, which you pointed out in an odd attempt to discredit yourself in the same post.

You still haven't given a reason for a mandatory day off or a non religious reason its sunday.

It could fall under worker's rights:  forcing employers to give their empleyees at least one day off.
