Why is Sunday a day when most businesses are not open?

That's one of the weakest use of logic I've seen on Y!A, yet. If it had any merit, you also might ask why businesses are not open on Saturday(s) in respect for the Judeo ideas.

I guess that's just a tradition.
The country was indeed founded largely on "Judeo-Christian" ideas, because that was the background most people had at the time of the revolution. True, many of the Founding Fathers were not "Christians" in the way we think - they were "deists" - but even the ones who rejected revealed religion (like Jefferson) still had at their basic core a fundamental belief in the tenets of Christianity. Even Jefferson said "I am a Christian."
Love, Jack

America was founded on hypocrisy which is why it's taken this long to get the Constitution to apply to all citizens, not just white male Christian ones. The same applies to the blue laws that are finally being pushed out of our laws.

Never mind that Sunday's the first day of the week...
Businesses do need a day off, you know.

Because Billy Bob said so.

This might be one of the stupidest questions I've ever seen on here.

Your correct in your assumption but weak on your argument.
This will greatly help you defend your correct statement.
P.S. Let me know what you think.
