Who says we have freedom of religion? Where in the Constitution, be specific now, is that statement?
No one is forcing you to work where you do. Go get a job somewhere else.

Non-church goers should absolutely not be responsible for working weekends without any religious holidays if they cannot handle working weekends or book it off, and it would be ridiculous taking that away from them.

Religious holidays, I guess all people who are religious have a reason in essence to have the day off, but not a right. Employers should not have to force people who are non-church goers to work that day if they have other obligations to fufill (the type of obligations should not be relative to whether or not they are religious or not, that's ridiculous).

So I guess in answer to your question, no, for the reasons I have put forward above.

You have freedom of employment, as well. If you're being asked to work weekends and you don't want to, you're free to find another job.

OK, you say, but this doesn't seem fair. Religious people can demand weekends off, but non-religious people can't (without quitting).

Not exactly true. A business does not need to give a religious person the weekend off. "We're open on Sunday (or Saturday or Friday)."

As a manager, I ask people I hire "We sometimes have work on the weekends. Will that be a problem for you?" If the person cannot work for religious reasons, kids, whatever... it's irrelevant. What matters is that a requirement of this job is the ability to work weekends. This is NOT discrimination.

They should have to work if they don't believe in anything. Church-goers should work the Saturday but be allowed Sunday off. If you have nothing to do like that...then why not work it for someone who has beliefs they want to follow.

I think people who take time off work for 'religious' holidays should be required to use vacation time.
