Well, if we go biblical then the last day of the week, the one when God supposedly rested and also the holiest day of the week has traditionally been Saturday, hence the Jews have their holy day, or Sabbath on Saturday, and so it's logical for them to start their week on a Sunday as that would be the first day of the biblical week (the day God created light, ergo the sun). However, in the Christian world we have kept the Jewish biblical week yet moved the holiest day to Sunday, so the day of rest for Christians is actually the first work day for God. This just goes to show how fucking retarded our weekday system is.
So, for me it starts on a Monday since why the fuck not? Although in all honesty I divide the week in two, the work week which starts on Monday mornings and ends on Friday afternoons and the weekend which starts on Friday afternoons and ends when I go to bed on Sunday. Sure, it's not a perfect system but it works for me.

Oh, and I didn't include references to Islam's week since their week starts on Saturday and ends on Friday and therefore isn't applicable to the poll. Oh, and being a metric fanboi If I had my way I'd take up where theFrench Revolutionleft off and introduce a 10 day week, a 30 day month, decimal time, and I'd also have the new year start on the day after the winter solstice since where the fuck is the logic in having a solar calendar that starts 10 days after the fucking sun starts getting higher in the sky again (or lower if you live down under)?
