She will only receive a fraction of that amount, but still quite a bit.
Who says Christianity is under attack?
Its not Christianity under attack its private property rights and freedom of association.
Unless there is a freely negotiated contract stating otherwise between the principles, it is perfectly within the rights of the employer to terminate the employee without penalty at any time for any reason.. And likewise it is within the right of the employee to terminate the agreement without penalty at any time, for any reason.
Keep in mind the fact that there are Christian and Jewish Sabbath (Friday at sunset through Saturday at sunset) observers. They too must be reasonably accommodated.
I still don't understand why the judge awarded her 21 million. I mean so if not working Sundays caused her to only work say 32 hours a week instead of 40, for years, does that actually equate to 21 million of loss wages?
The obligation to make reasonable accommodation also extends to religious holy days or events. Years ago I came upon an employer who permitted Native Americans to be absent for the purpose of attending a pow-wow viewing it as a religious observance.
Please. I can’t stand Christianity. You’ve got the wrong idea bud.
Of course you can’t. Those pesky values like being accountable for your own actions and thinking about your behavior and how it affects others. I can see how you can’t stand that.

But how is 21 million dollars a 'reasonable accomodation'? It sounds like it's too much over reasonable, unless I am wrong?

Plus does the Employer pay for that?
It was a jury that awarded it, not a judge. It was only symbolic. The cap on punitive damages is only $300K, so this woman will get that, minus $100K for her attorney.
Oh sorry, my mistake. Why didn't the jury feel that 21 million was just too much and overkill?
Too much. Maybe a few 5-digits at most would be better.
