Answer:
CE is the secular world's substitute for AD ( In the year of our Lord)
BCE is the secular world's substitute for BC(Before Christ )
Common era and before common era do not have the same meaning as before Christ and in the year of our Lord because the terms exclude Jesus Christ, the main focus of the dating system.
BCE means "Before (the) Common Era", and in practice is used exactly the same as BC ("Before Christ"), so for timelines, take the starting point as the year 'zero' BC.
ANSWER:
It means "Before Common Era". The term was instituted by scientists and other professionals to replace BC (Before Christ) due to the fact that BC carries a religious bias not held by the majority of people around the world. The term BCE is more appropriate as a global standard for dating.
The term BCE stands for "Before Common Era" and is now used frequently, to replace the older term "Before Christ" or BC. Thus BCE covers the years before the traditional date for the birth of Christ.
The term BCE also is used to represent "Before Christian Era," and represents the period of time that occurred prior to the rise of Christendom.
B.C.E. means Before Common Era. C.E. means Common Era.
BCE means Before Common Era, Before Christian Era.
It is a way of saying BC, just as CE (Common Era, Current Era,Christian Era) can be used instead of AD (Anno Domini)
