Sunday being a day of rest is a judeao Christian principle having to do with genesis. If you absolutely decry faith in God, then you also decry Sunday off.

Sunday isn't - the "sabbath" is, and, by our calendar, it is Sunday for most Christians but other days for some Christian groups and many other religious beliefs, such as the majority (but not all) of those "Judeo-" ffolkes you mention.
