I’m old enough to remember when all businesses closed at noon on Saturday and were closed on Sunday. Those were less hectic days… more time was spent with family.
A business may choose to close whenever they want but we cannot allow religious dogmas to be codified in our government!!! Slippery slope is an understatement, have we learned nothing from the dark ages??
I do agree with the businesses themselves being allowed to close when they want and that the culture has been degraded over time, but that's downstream of what the body of Christ is able to accomplish in the world. We have been systematically suppressed and ridiculed, while the false churches and New Age crap has been glorified and bolstered.
Okay you're apparently completely ignorant of our nations foundational principles.
I'll start with saying as a hardcore reformed Baptist and what the left would call a far right "Christian nationalists" (In reality that just means that I believe the Bible and that Christ just King) And I would be completely against any type of governmental Sabbath restrictions. I would however be in favor of employers respecting religious employees choice to not work on the Sabbath.
That being said are nation was founded as a Christian nation. Separation of church and state doesn't appear in any of our foundational documents. It appears one time in a letter and the context of that letter that you need to understand is that they founders were coming from England and Europe were very specific docturnal positions were interwoven with the government. For example you couldn't disagree on something like infant baptism or divorce without committing an actual crime.
After the the revolution (which England called the Protestant rebellion) the founders in their infinite wisdom and very recent experience decided the federal government couldn't declare specific doctoral religious positions but the states could and many did.
In fact the supreme Court even ruled that the United States is a Christian nation in the case called "Holy Trinity versus United States" in 1892
A large portion of our constitution and almost our entire Bill of Rights was taken out of the general equity of God's law. Meaning it was molded from the framework that God gave us in his word.
Our founding fathers recognized the tea Christian faith was a essential part of the foundational principles and framework of this nation.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion
I do not claim the founders were perfect, nor any supreme court justices, or legal opinions from them. God has moved upon the earth in glorious ways, which have led to the truths in His Word becoming "self-evident", when at times past they were not. However, codifying any aspect of any religion, such as a Sunday Law, is in effect forcing that religion's interpretation upon all the people, regardless of whether or not they themselves subscribe to it. Does that make sense? It's a slippery slope. There are even many Christians who disagree with Sunday being the Sabboth, as an example. I know they tried to include this in the Project2025 document but can you not see this spiraling out of hand? It's awful precedent.
At the time of America's founding there was already a mixed multitude among the founders. Many were Christians, many were Freemasons, some were both, others, neither. It is highly nuanced. I don't believe America was founded as a Christian nation, at least not in the sense that most people comprehend that term to mean, but I do believe it was established in accordance to the will of God.
Thank you for underlining the exact point that I made. That means everyone's freedom practice what faith they choose and how to choose it. It doesn't change the fact that the nation is founded as a Christian nation with Christian principles and those freedoms are given under that umbrella.
States are not Congress. States made laws establishing religion. The most recent one would be the Hawaiian Constitution stating that no laws of Hawaii would conflict with the law of Jehovah God.
Go look at that SCOTUS ruling I mentioned. It's a matter of record and ruled on.

And the majority of the businesses chose to observe a day of rest. I simply pointed out that as a society we’ve lost our moral compass.

Spiritual > Cultural > Political

Have you learned nothing from the enlightenment?

Key word "Congress" meaning federal.
