Also it's not just Christianity, it's all three big Abrahamic faiths that use a seven day week to mark their holy day (Saturday for Jews, Friday for Muslims)

It's a lot harder to ask to get Shabbos off if Shabbos falls on a random day of the secular week every time

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

I think I agree that *months* are arbitrary and annoying and create all kinds of problems but seven day weeks are probably here to stay It's the desyncing of months to weeks that really creates all our annoying problems ("What day of the week is Christmas this year")
