That may be true in some traditions (e.g. Judaism) but not others.
In the Christian tradition they choose to observe the sabbath on Sunday, not because it is the 7th day (which would be the same day that the Jews observe), but because it is the day of resurrection. There's nothing saying it could not be yet another day.
Additionally, the scriptures say that observation is not mandatory by saying "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath", therefore the believers have authority over their observation of it (with observation still highly recommended).
