The widespread and (to my mind) justifiable contempt for Mondays can be directly laid at the door of the Abrahamic religions. The Jewish, Muslim and Christian sabbaths all occur Friday through Sunday. All of these imply rest and religious observance, and - if I'm being cynical - rest for the purpose of religious observance. It is therefore a convenient break between one working week and the next.
So, the next time your alarm clock goes off and you mutter, 'God damned Monday!!', you're more right than you know.
