Of course not! In some religions you need not attend church on Sundays to practice your faith and everybody is entitled to choose their religion.
In the early 16th century, Britons were forced to follow the Protestant faith by King James I who stated that failure to heed this rule would result in immediate execution. This led to a clandestine group, to devise and almost execute a plan to blow up the Houses of Lords during the opening of parliament – as, they believed, killing the new King would reinstate Catholic legality.
To so long after, during the late 17th century in England, the Quakers - peoples who wanted to pursue their own devotion methods - had to flee the country to avoid ongoing persecution; this due to their different views on religion. Everybody in England was forced – yet again to a religion.
Forcing people to go on Sundays, will only instigate hatred.
It is precisely forcing people to a religion that sparks wars.

If I voted, I would absolutely vote against such a misguided law. Thankfully, here in the USA such a law would be against the 1st Ammendment to the Constitution. Unfortunately, our history shows that such laws are possible, even today there are some hangovers left from the old "blue laws" which legislated what could and could not be done on Sunday. There is even a movement growing for the passage of such laws. I guess if such a law was passed, and given the political climate we are in today it is possible, then WalMart, Lowe's, Home Depot, and many other retailers will be in big trouble sales wise (the money generated by Sunday sales for the retail sector will be the chief factor opposing such laws).
I guess I would be in jail or in Canada, since I would absolutely refuse to go to church on a day mandated by man.
Remeber the Sabbath day to keep it Holy is not refering to Sunday at all.
Exodus 20:8 Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day. 9 On six days do all your work:
10 But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you: 11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.
And likewise:
Hebrew 4:1 Let us then, though we still have God’s word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.
2 And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.
3 For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.
4 For in one place he has said of the seventh day, And God had rest from all his works on the seventh day;
In ancient Israel, as in the world today, people refuse to keep the Sabbath because of unbelief.
Further study will show that one of the false religion marks of the beast is Sunday worship.

Um, no... because people should be able to choose whether or not they want to worship on Sundays, and just because someone is forced to go to church on Sunday doesn't guarantee good behavior the other 6 days of the week.

First of all, it is already predestined that there are non-believers on the earth who will never come to know Christ! Therefore, I think that followers who attend church on a regular basis are meant to go to worship, and those who are non-believers will never go, anyway! So I would have to say..... NO.

I'm a Christian, and I would be totally against that. God wants people to follow Him/believe in Him freely, not by force, coersion, or by making church attendance mandatory. He gave us free will for a reason. So we can CHOOSE to follow Him.

No. I value religious freedom. People that want compulsory religion need to move to Iran, or some other theocratic nation.

There already is such a law. It's called NFL Sunday.
