I told her I'm religious and I refuse to work on a Sunday. In my religion, which is stricter than other Christian religions, it's a huge sin to work on a Sunday. Though the times she has me set up to work are in the evening, I won't miss church but a sabbath day is a day of rest. I'm not supposed to be doing any work on Sunday. I'm fine working any other day, however she's been scheduling me to work the weekends (i. e barely giving me any hours to work because she hired too many people and there aren't enough hours). And she schedules me to work the day I told her I strongly refuse to work. She told me no one wants to work Sundays and I have to make a sacrifice. I was wondering if what she is doing is against the law or something I can get out of. Because after I told her I can't work Sunday because of my religion she said, "If you aren't working Sunday then you are fired."

You need to leave your religion, then. As no reasonable religion should state you cannot work.
Also, you should have got it in writing that you were exempt from a Sunday shift anyway,

It's complicated, but maybe they can. You might want to find a different job. Try Chik-Fil-A.

You made it clear before you got hired; your manager is being a jerk. If you have an HR I recommend filing a complaint. If she does fire you I would file a wrongful termination lawsuit. Religion is a protected class.
