text: My religious holidays are somewhat different than Catholic's or Jewish (I am not muslim either).Should the whole country take days off when I observe my holidays? There are a lot more faiths in Canada, if we have time off to accommodate every single one we wouldn't get anything done.
  
  Sat/Sun off might have been a Christian thing originally. It is now secular traditions and has nothing to do with Christianity or Jewry. Many (non-practicing) Christians mow their lawns or go to work on Sunday. Church attendance is low. Many Jews don't observe Shabbat. 
  
  Religion has no business in schools,workplace, government. Scrap the catholic school systems, let people make arrangements with employers: to go out and pray, to bank time for their own holidays etc.
