Why do some people want to change BC to BCE?
BC (Before Christ) is numerically identical to BCE (Before Common Era). There are a couple of reasons for adopting; partly it's because the Gregorian calender has become, unofficially, a World calender. Using BCE makes it an official calender without offending cultures who, internally, use calenders based around their own religions. Since the era of Atomic clocks, its been realised that the original calculations used for the Gregorian calender are slightly inaccurate - occasional leap seconds have to be introduced to keep the atomic clocks in sync. with the Earth. The other reason I can imagine is that the Gregorian calender was established by the Catholic Church; it is widely acknowledged that the accuracy of some of the dates; particular 1AD, has some doubt. One of the driving forces for changing to the Gregorian calender was the knowledge that holy days were being celebrated on the wrong day.
