More details to this question:
I requested not to work on Sunday at my job because I attend church. Now the manager has threatened my job if I can't work on Sunday. I work Monday thru Friday. I'll pick up Saturday. But I ask them not to call me on Sunday. Can they terminate me for this?

The answer is: Maybe yes, maybe no. An employer has a duty to accommodate religious practices, but not by very much. Sunday-off cases are difficult to win, but I recently handled one with success.
