C.E. replaces A.D. to mean the years after the alleged birth of Jesus. C.E. means "common era". It used to mean "Christian Era" and A.D. meant "Anno Domini" which meant "in the year of our Lord" in Latin. The old terms are considered culturally biased so they were changed to culturally neutral terms.
