Re: sundays off
The fact that you quit may not be especially helpful to any claims you may have, but your employer should accommodate your religious beliefs unless doing so would constitute an undue burden for them. The first step is to file a Complaint witht the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which is a prerequisite to filing a lawsuit if a basis would exist for one.
