Less than a quarter of the world's people subscribe to Christian ideas. Most have other systems not related to the supposed year of birth of Jesus the Nazorean. Even the Christians have got it wrong - following an error by an early monk - the gospels themselves differ - Matthew says the birth was during the reign of Herod ie about 6 BC, Luke says when Quirinius was governor of Syria ie 6-7 AD - a gap of about 14 years.
To overcome the aversion of most with being saddled with an alien dating system, there has been a growing acceptance of using the term Common Era - BCE Before the Common Era and CE the Common Era. Die-hard Christians want to stick with their erroneous traditions and try to force them on others, however modern people are moving to the sane compromise. Thinking people should follow it for everyone's benefit.

What are the full forms of 'AD' and 'BC'?
Anno Domini (abbreviated as AD or A.D., sometimes found in the form Anno Domine) and Before Christ (abbreviated as BC or B.C.) are designations used to label or numbers ears in the Julian and Gregorina Calendars. The BC/AD dating system was devised by medieval monks and based on an estimate of Jesus's birth year. This estimate has later proven to be off by about six years. The more recent BCE/CE dating system ("Before the Current Era" and "Current Era," respectively) is simply the BC/AD dating system relabeled to remove religious references.
