We do not know for sure. It is a reasonable estimate that our religious leaders and historians have made. But the more important thing is that Christ is alive today!
The most reasonable estimates (based on the death of King Herod and the return of the family to Nazareth following his death) suggest Christ was most likely born before 4 BCE. However the exact date of his birth on earth is of little importance, as he is eternal existing before anything was created (Gospel of John).
The church picked the year AD 1 (there is no year 0) as Christ's birth year mostly because a very bright comet was recorded as observed that year. Comets were believed at the time to signal the births of kings.
