Ask HN: Honouring the Sabbath

I am not really religious at all (non-practicing lapsed catholic), but I recently stumbled upon a discussion that got me thinking: Should we as hackers/makers/business people honour the Sabbath? To be clear, I am not asking if it is _morally_ better to honour the Sabbath, but rather: would it make us more productive to be forced to have a "contemplation day"?
