I would support a Keep Sunday Special as I think that a sabbath is important and having a single day that for the most part can be shared would be beneficial and Sunday matches the Christian heritage of the nation. Other communities can have other days if they want and would provide service over that period. An big issue is that large companies want staff to work 7 days and don't seem to care if staff want a single day each week as a special day. And I bet the bosses take the days they want.

Would that include the historical abuse meted out by Priests, vicars, nuns etc?
As long as shop employees aren't forced to work Bank Holidays I can see no problem with it.
What you and Arthur seem to want is no-one works on the Sabbath. No Police, Fire or Ambulance services, then we have the NHS, not just doctors & nurses but cooks, cleaners etc. Let's just leave patients in hospital to fend for themselves on a Sunday because it's the Sabbath.
Many years ago my father (died 1975) told me of when he was on a long term contract in "Dry Sunday Wales" that if there was a light on in the front window of a pub on Sunday it meant the back door was open.
You cannot exclude one set of workers.
