are there any religions that don't work on sundays?

If you are asking about DOING work on thee Sabbath, then yes, there are certain religions that believe that only  a)  those laboring for life or death causes, i.e. hospitals, and b)  Pastors can work on Sunday.  \n\nThe reason behind this being  a) even GOD rested on the 7th day, and b) employers who have people working on Sundays are depriving their employees of a day to worship.\n\nI personally do not follow that ethic, maybe because I work in the mental health field, or maybe because I like to shop and eat out on Sundays.   However, my Pastor and his family, whom I admire and respect a great deal, will not eat out, shop, or otherwise engage in business.  They prepare their meals on Saturday night, and eat them cold on Sundays, so that they are not working (except for pastoring in their church.)

Well there are many that could be listed because there are so many kinds of religons and so many different religous views that may say an activity is required of their faith but against the laws of mankind. \n\nHere are a few examples:\n\n1. Suicide Bombing is a crime, but it is a religious act carried out according to the faith of some religions.\n\n2. Satanic rituals carried out on human sacrifices or animal sacrifices would be against the laws of man, but supported by a satanic kind of faith.\n\n3. There are religions that allow for poligamy, when there are laws against it.\n\n4. There may be governments that specifically make laws against certain religions and their activities so that they will be committing crimes, it happens all of the time.\n\nCheck out this website below, it's got some answers for you.

This is what I know.  I worked with a guy who was one once.  We were on mandatory 12 hours a day 6 days a week, with voluntary o.t. on Sundays.  He got to leave work an hour before sundown on Friday, and didn't have to work until after daybreak Monday morning.  Great deal isn't it?\n\nAnd, this is the best part, he was dating an underage girl.  He would race from work at noon to go to her home for a "nooner".  So one day he was being an a** about not having to work the weekends\n\nI said, "so, let me get this right, a Seventh-Day Adventist, cannot work the weekends to honor God.  But they CAN screw their underage and illegal girlfriend in her parents home.  Great Religion!\n\nSo really, they are like all Christians, some are devout and truly believe, some are the "feel gooders" that only go to church to hedge their bets, and some are scum.  See just like every other type.

no, Sundays do not count when you add up the 40 days of Lent.  Some people use that as a loophole to take a break from their Lenten resolutions, but I disagree.  I think they don't count Sundays because they are holy days already.

Originally the sabbath day was the seventh day of the week, or Saturday. Seventh Day Adventists still worship on Saturdays. Most of the Christian world, however, worships on Sunday, the Lord's day of resurrection. So, is it okay to go to church on Saturdays? It depends on what your understanding of the scriptures leads you to do. I, personally, worship on Sundays and do my best to keep the Lord's day holy.

One religion that does not celebrate birthdays is Jehovah Witnesses. They know where birthdays actually originated from, so they tend to stay away from something that displeases God.

The Sabbath is from Friday Evening to Saturday Evening; Jews still keep it as some christians. No work is to be done this day.\nJesus himself told us to keep this day (John 4:22-24).\n"Ye worship ye know not what; we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22\nNotice Jesus was saying that we should worship Saturday like the Jews.\n\nLook Sabbath up in Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol.24, pp.68-69.\nThe Calendar also tells us the 7th day is Saturday.\n\nIf you look up Genesis 1:8; it tells us that the evening and morning were the second day. Lev.23:32 says from evening to evening to celebrate the Sabbath.\n\nGENESIS 2:2-3 "AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE; AND HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD MADE. AND GOD BLESSED THE THE SEVENTH DAY, AND SANCTIFIED IT: BECAUSE THAT IN IT HE HAD RESTED FROM ALL HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED AND MADE." {sanctify = to set apart; make holy}\n\nEXODUS 20:8-11 "REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, TO KEEP IT HOLY. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY DAUGHTER, THY MANSERVANT, NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THY CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES: FOR IN SIX DAYS THE LORD MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH, THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IN THEM IS, AND RESTED THE SEVENTH DAY: WHEREFORE THE LORD BLESSED THE SABBATH DAY, AND HALLOWED IT." {the 4th Commandment}\n\nREV.14:7 "SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE, FEAR GOD, AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM; FOR THE HOUR OF HIS JUDGEMENT IS COME; AND WORSHIP HIM THAT MADE HEAVEN, AND EARTH, AND THE SEA, AND THE FOUNTAINS OF WATER."{fear God means reverence him; also this text points back to the 4th Commandment}\n\nLEV.23:3 "SIX DAYS SHALL WORK BE DONE: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF REST, AN HOLY CONVOCATION; YE SHALL DO NO WORK THERIN: IT IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD IN ALL YOUR DWELLINGS."\n\nDEUT.5:12-14 "KEEP THE SABBATH DAY TO SANCTIFY IT, AS THE LORD THY GOD HATH COMMANDED THEE. SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOUR, AND DO ALL THY WORK: BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD THY GOD: IN IT THOU SHALT NOT DO ANY WORK, THOU, NOR THY SON, NOR THY DAUGHTER, THY MANSERVANT, NOR THY MAIDSERVANT, NOR THINE OX, NOR THINE ***, NOR ANY OF THINE CATTLE, NOR THY STRANGER THAT IS WITHIN THY GATES: THAT THY MANSERVANT AND THY MAIDSERVANT MAY REST AS WELL AS THOU."\n\n{Jesus's Example= "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:..-1PETER 2:21}\nLUKE 4:16 "AND HE CAME TO NAZARETH, WHERE HE HAD BEEN BROUGHT UP: AND, AS HIS CUSTOM WAS, HE WENT INTO THE SYNAGOGUE ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND STOOD UP TO READ."\n\nMARK 2:23-28 "AND IT CAME TO PASS, THAT HE WENT THROUGH THE CORN FIELDS ON THE SABBATH DAY; AND HIS DISCIPLES BEGAN, AS THEY WENT, TO PLUCK THE EARS OF CORN. AND THE PHARISEES SAID UNTO HIM, BEHOLD, WHY DO THEY ON THE SABBATH DAY THAT WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE YE NEVER READ WHAT DAVID DID, WHEN HE HAD NEED, AND WAS AN HUNGRED, HE, AND THEY THAT WERE WITH HIM? HOW HE WENT INTO THE HOUSE OF GOD IN THE DAYS OF ABIATHAR THE HIGH PRIEST, AND DID EAT THE SHEW BREAD, WHICH IS NOT LAWFUL TO EAT BUT FOR THE PRIESTS, AND GAVE ALSO TO THEM WHICH WERE WITH HIM? AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR MAN, AND NOT MAN FOR THE SABBATH: THEREFORE THE SON OF MAN IS LORD ALSO OF THE SABBATH." {The Pharisees thought his disciples were breaking the Sabbath by plucking and eating corn; but Jesus told them it wasn't work. Jesus healed on the sabbath as helped people. On the Sabbath day you can even warm meals as boil water for oatmeal on the Sabbath. The work that you cannot do is cooking meals because it takes an hour or hours to cook or by staying in the fields to do hard labor or cleaning, shopping in the store, eating at restaura

Original Jewish Sabath is sun down on Friday and ended sun down on Saturday.  \n\nIn the Bible, New Testament, the church switched it to Sunday instead of Saturday.

"Why do ppl worship on sunday not saturday?"\n\nThere are 12 reasons why people worship on Sunday but NONE are Biblical. Below I will describe them It may be a little long.\n\n\n1) "Sunday is the New Sabbath." or "Because Jesus rose on Sunday"\nThere is NO scripture that calls Sunday the New Sabbath. The only Sabbath Day is Saturday Exodus 20:8\n\nJesus did NOT give us a new day of worship for the Resurection HE gave us baptism Romans 6:1-4, Colosians 2:12, Galatians 3:27,1 Peter 3:21. Please provide the verse that says to worship on Sunday due to the resurection.\n\n2)"The Sabbath was made for the Jews, it is only part of their law"\nThe Sabbath was made more than 2000 yrs before the first Jew existed, it was part of creation Genesis 2:1-3\n\n3)"We don't worship on the Sabbath we worship on the "Lord's Day"... Sunday"\nThe ONLY day called the Lord's day in the Bible is the Sabbath Day(Saturday) Exodus 20:8, Isa 58:13,14. Please produce the verse that calls Sunday the Lord's Day.\n\n4)"The early church changed it."\nThere is no evidence that the early church started worshiping on Sunday.\nPeople usually then quote Acts 20:7 because it says they "broke bread" on the first day... meaning communion. But if they read Acts chapter 2 it says they broke bread everyday, breaking bread means eating. I can produce 7 verses where Jesus kept the Sabbath, 6 obvious verses where the early church (Apostles, Jews AND the GENTILES) met on Sabbath to worship compared to only one ambiguous text for Sunday. The weight of the evidence is for Sabbath(Saturday) worship. \n\n5)"Jesus did away with they law on the cross."\nMany things are wrong wtih this \nA)There are 2 laws, Moral and Ceremonial. The Sabbath is part of the Moral law not Ceremonial.\nB)Jesus says in Matthew 5 that he did not come to destroy the law. \nC)They keep the others the ONLY commandment ignored and discarded starts with "REMEMBER", maybe God knew people would forget it. \nD)The ONLY laws done away with were the levitical(ceremonial laws). Col 2:14. The Sabbath day is not part of the ceremonial law... it is part of the moral law.\nE)"Sin is the transgression of the law" - 1 John 3:4\n"Where there is no law there is no sin" Romans 4:15\nIf there is no sin then Jesus didn't die for you, because you did not sin.\nF) since the law is gone can we now kill and steal and commit adultery, and worship other gods, can we disrespect our parents, or worship idols? No? then why are you trying to do away with the only one that starts off with "REMEMBER". \nG) Paul in Romans says we are to uphold the Law\n\n6)"It doesn't matter" or "We can't tell which day is the Sabbath\nA)The commandment doesn't say pick a 7th day it says THE 7th Day is the Sabbath. The Jews in Edodus 16 said it doesnt "matter which day" and God told them it does matter, and we know which day is the Sabbath the Jews have kept it for thousands of years.\nB) Luke 22-23 says Jesus rose the day after the Sabbath so if you can't tell which day is the Sabbath then you can't tell which day is Sunday\n\nThe first person to say "It doesn't matter how we worship God" is Cain. Cain said "it doesn't matter how we worship God as long as we give something." Was he right?\n\n7)"We are under the New covenant"\nHebrews 8:7-12 says\nFor if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the PEOPLE and said "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because THEY DID NOT REMAIN FAITHFUL TO MY COVENANT, and I turned away from them, decla

There is no "blanket rule", so it comes down to guidelines from the specific denomination, and at times, availability of a pastor or the specific facility.  E.g. always booked on Sundays for regular services, very buys on Saturdays with services or preparations for Sunday, the pastor is tired on Mondays, and needs a "one day breather".\n\nIf you have a specific church/facility in mind, ask them for their guidelines/availabilities, and reasons for it.

Not that I am aware of.  In fact, some branches of some religions don't even believe in using symbols at all.

The Catholic Church has always kept the Sabbath from Friday night until Saturday night.  It worships on everyday of the week, but especially Sunday.  However, you will not generally find a Friday night to Saturday night service.\n\nI think when pioneers went West and the break with Europe, bible only Protestants knew that they worshipped on Sunday but didn't remember why.  They thought it was the Sabbath and turned it into it when it is not, hence the Seventh Day Adventist reaction to the error.  I think it was just a mistake created by Churches that limit their reading and education.  The old line Protestant such as Lutherans I am sure did not do this as they remained connected, but many Protestants got disconnected to anyone but their frontier town.\n\nI think it is an accident.

Jesus is lord. the sabbath was so men would not work seven days a week, and get sick and die, from not getting enough rest.

Some jobs, like firemen and doctors, should, as those jobs are necessary round the clock. For others, regardless of religion, everyone needs a day off.

according to the bible, the sabbath should be practised on saturday, but later changed by people based on their minds.\ni must say, SATURDAY is found as the day of rest because of the resurection of jesus.\nwe all know that jesus was hanged on friday and resurected on sunday.the bible says that he rested the sabbath, the next day. and the 1st day of the week he resurected. according to the rules god gave to israelites in the book of exodus, the sabbath starts on friday sunset and ends on saturday sun set.\n(for more about verses just contact me on my profile)\nthanks for yo qn and happier if you understand the above.\ngood luck
