Most Christians, but not Seventh-Day Adventists, as they believe in keeping the traditional sabbath (Saturday), which is where they get their name.

No religion specifically mentions Sunday. Christians and Jews are commanded to rest on/observe a Sabbath Day which translates as the seventh day. Christians interpret this 7th day as being Sunday. Jews interpret the 7th day to be from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

Christians used to Protesant and Catholic alike. In fact Maine was last state to ban sales in big stores on Sundays.
Christ worked on Sundays. But it was for the betterment of personkind.
Now Chirstians use the entire week to gather money. I have always worked on Sundays, as revereing the creator all the other days of the week is also important.

Depends on what you consider rest. Going out to dinner causes someone else to work. Going to or watching ballgames isn't rest either. Most churches allow members to paticipate in many activities that I wouldn't consider rest.
The exception would be the Mormons. They are not to shop, attend sporting events, go out to dinner, etc. Their Sabbath Day activities include visiting the sick, visiting and teaching other members, studying scriptures at home, spending time with family, etc. And even taking a Sunday afternoon nap.

Christian Reformed. Well, the old school Christian Reformed. I remember my friends parents freaking out because we had to put gas in the car before church. By filling up the car, we made someone work on a Sunday. They may be a little more relaxed now, but a few years ago, not so much.

Not all Christians. Many shop, work, and generally treat it as just another Saturday.
Mormons are commanded to "keep the Sabbath day holy." We do this by not working, shoping, watching tv, interneting, etc. But instead, read good books, visit with family, take a nap, etc.

It would not be faithful followers of the Almighty, because He said rest on the Seventh day. The Catholics changed it, so the true answer is Catholics,and others who follow the Pope rather than the Almighty (YHVH)

I think all do don't they? I'm Protestant and was taught that Sunday (the sabath) is a day of rest. Doesn't mean I do it...I work every Sunday but you're supposed to.

Rest is a relative term. Some take a day of rest to mean a vacation day. In my church, we see it as a day of rest from the worries and trials of the mortal world. It is a day to dedicate to God and his works.
