"Winter Break" and "Spring Break" coincide with christian holidays. Mail is not delivered on Sunday - guess why. The majority of stores still have a late opening time on Sundays started so people could attend morning mass. Many have alcohal restrictions on Sundays. Dances and football games are usually on Friday night - sucks if you are Jewish and a teenager. Same thing if you you are Jewish and want to go to a movie - can't go to the opening on Friday night. Try playing a sport or being in theater if you are Morman - Sundays are out. Malls are generally closed three days out of a calendar year - Thanksgiving, Christmas and occasionally Easter. I don't see any other faiths represented.
