Abrahamic religions have a 7 day week and that okay. But do other religions too have a week of 7 days?

The problem comes in the number of days of the year. 364 days of the year with a one day leap year every four years is the most accurate calendar year that leaves the following combinations.
2 x 2 x 7 x 13.
That's a limited number of combinations.
You can say 4 day week, 7 day week, 13 day week, 14 day week and so forth on upwards.
Yet seven is the most reasonable. Actually has little to do with religion. More to do with practicality.
Would anyone want to work even 13 days straight?
Having once had a eight day work schedule, you have no idea what a pain that was.
