yeah but making the entire rest of humanity be systemically beholden to those accomodations isn't what I'd call a morally neutral solution either Obviously we're stuck with it but unfortunately it also pretty blatantly reinforces the supremacy of the religion it was designed for

Well yeah I'm just saying it wasn't originally invented for Christianity (the Christians adopted the ancient Near Eastern week used by the Jews) and it's not just Christians, it's the whole Abrahamic world Muslims would be pretty mad if you officially abolished Fridays
