Considering what work looked like in even the 18th century it was indeed rest in comparison.

Going to church is equivalent to watching tv, its not work.

Having to keep up social appearances within an accepted range and suppressing ideas and behavior that conflict with rules imposed by a religious organization does not sound relaxing to me like watching TV does. My white collar labor is less stressful to me than religious strictures would be.

People didn’t have much more to do back then. There was no TV.
