"If nothing else, in the US this would be seen as a pretty gross abrogation of separation of church and state to make it Sunday"

No. It's as cultural as it is religious, and there are 0 'Social Democrats' against the notion of Sundays off on religious grounds.

"People should absolutely have time off, but I think being more flexible is generally preferable."

And no, there is generally no movement for this nor will there be.

The last thing we need is everything happening 24/7/365.

Totally, utterly wrong. If you tried to mandate Sundays off anywhere in the US, the entirety of the left would oppose it. If you don't realize this, you may not know much about US politics. The left there is very concerned about any signs of state-sponsored religious favoritism, and this would very obviously qualify.
