...have to bear the burdens of those restrictions themselves, and shouldn't expect others to have to go out of their way to accommodate and ease the practice of those restrictions.
A little accommodation, like say special day off now and then shouldn't be a big thing. Not being able to deal with all of the work everyone else has to do, not wanting to work with customers or clients that everyone else has to work with, not being willing to sell items or perform services that others in the same job would be expected to do, expecting far more time off than anyone else gets for lots and lots of special "holy days"... there's only so much extra cost, expense, and inconvenience other people should have to take on so you can follow your self-imposed special religious rules.
Pleading that it's "God's special rules", not your own special rules, should have no legals standing.
I remember a case a few years ago where a Muslim woman wouldn't let her driver's license picture be taken without wearing a veil covering all of her face except her eyes. Tough luck, you accept that religious rule, you accept the burden of not being allowed to drive. No one else gets to circumvent the entire purpose of a photo ID, so neither do you.
