BCE = Before Common Era which replaces Before Christ

The following period is CE = Common Era

Other cultures have different calendars, and a common measure of the years is in everyone's interest. These terms are meant to peplace the old BC and AD, which have to religous connection for one fifth of the World's population. It is thought a reasonable exchange for the other four fifths to use the time division, with the concession that the religious meaning be replaced by Common Era which it now is. A fair and sensible exchange.
