Why does any day have to be mandated by the federal government as a special day? If Good Friday means something to you, such that you don't think you should be at work, then take that day off. Why does the government need to force your employer into giving you that day off?

Because that's how a theocracy works, and a theocracy is exactly what the OP wants.

But forget Good Friday. My point is why should the federal government mandate we take off Memorial Day or Labor Day or any other day? Why do they decide what days are important for all 330 million Americans such that they are declared holidays?

A Federal Holiday is a paid holiday for federal employees.
States are not obligated to recognize a Federal Holiday for state employees.
The private sector is not required by any government to provide any paid holidays.
I have noticed that too. You can post just about anything you want regarding Muslims but even the mildest criticism of Christians gets posts deleted and posters banned
Actually it’s quiet the opposite where Christians are being bashed and oppressed and lots of off-topics.

It’s not about me it’s about promoting a nice 3-day weekend in spring and for convenient for majority of the people. Most countries in the world including your neighbor countries has Good Friday as a national holiday (some also Easter Monday).
What do you think Christmas is, if not an official celebration of the birth of Jesus?
People may say 'happy holidays' instead of merry Christmas, but THAT is the holiday (Christmas/birth of Jesus), saying 'Happy holidays' is no different than Merry Christmas imo.
I am as agnostic as they come. I love Christmas, decorations, music, food, parties and family gatherings.
