I was interested to read about this earlier today
https://www.nationalreview.com/corn...-can-punish-sabbath-observing-letter-carrier/
As I understand it, the case relates to a Sabbatarian Christian US postal worker who was being told to work on the Sabbath, apparently after the postal service entered into arrangements with Amazon to deliver Amazon orders 7 days a week.
Will be interesting to see what happens with this. Obviously society is very far from being in a position where the magistrate will actively protect the sanctity of the Sabbath as it ought; the case will be about how much accommodation employers must make for the free exercise of religion. But it could have wide-reaching effects on the ability of Sabbath-keeping Christians in the US to work in a variety of fields.
