Why would it have to be Sunday or only once a week?
Well, Asia's a BIG place with many races and ethnicities. For starters, there's Buddhism, which is the most common religion through East Asia. In Japan, Shinto the national religion (which is often combined with Buddhism.) Taoism is also a common (and combined) religion of East Asia. Most religions in East Asia are combined with native folk religions. In Central, South and Southeast Asia, most people are either Hindu or Muslim, although there are Christians and Catholics too, plus Seihks [sic].
Throughout Asia, they have there own versions of Christianity. In Central Asia, most are Eastern Orthodox. In East Asia, they have various protestant offshoots, i.e., the Korean Prebyterian Church, the Formosan Evangelical Church, etc. Some which have connections to U.S. and European churches.
Not too many Jews, except in Central Asia. The are a growing community of Mormons, too. Catholics are primarily in the Philipines and Korea.

For Muslim they gather in the mosque for communal prayer on Friday afternoon (only the men). For Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism, they follow their own specific dates form their calendar for prayers in their temples. Not every religion ordains Sunday as a day of worship.

There are some Christian churches that serve a particular race. That's because the language barrier makes it hard for them to worship in English speaking churches. I've seen a Bible printed in Japanese.

They are not a uniform group. There are several BILLION people in asia. Some are budhists, some are taoist, some are confucists, and many other religions. There is no one Asian religion. They have various places of worship depending on the specific religion.

Hey, they are asians, not alians, hello? LOL.
Race has very little to do with religion. Historically, there are some tendencies, but they can be ANY religion, icnluding Christian.
