What I want to know is: If Christians cared so much about Sundays being sacred because that's the day God said to rest, why didn't they ever come up with excuses as to why the days of the week are named after a completely different pantheon of gods?

Well... First of all, sunday is the first day of the week...
The sabbath is friday at sundown to saturday at sundown...
And keep in mind Christianity adopted a lot of pagan ideas within the first 500 years

Religion is a stench and God Himself ended it through Christ, I dearly hope Christians will all realise that we are saved by grace not works

You are Seventh-Day Adventist by any chance? I have met several and read some of their books. The one that stands out in my memory is The Great Controversy by Helen White.
They have views similar to those stated in the OP.
I have talked in great length, and even written letters to prominent members of the sect, both extolling their beliefs in the Bible that are accurate, and also trying to reason with them why these events will most likely never come about before the end.
Religion is a stench. It will only lose favor with the people, not gain it. It has lost its tight grip it once had. While it is true it still highly influences politics, every decade you see its waters dry up more and more. And soon she will be destroyed by her former paramours at he behest of God himself.

It's funny listening to an atheist preaching their naive understanding of Christianity at christians
Can you show me where Christians can't watch sport on a Sunday, where Christians have to go to church on a Sunday
You really need to do your homework before making a goose of yourself
