Personally, neither!

 

But thanks for the explanation.

 

Where do Christians get Sunday as their day of rest from then?

 

I believe it was Emperor Constantine that put Sunday as the day of rest so yes its a Christian thing, and as stated it was the start of the Christian era so its also the first Christian day. Like you I also don't have any religious faith.

He presumably did it simply to distinguish the early Christians' practice from that of the Jews- esp. as the early Christians were Jews
