I am not Christian,
as are most of the people on this planet. Hence, to use a date system based on
AD (Anno Domino – “in the year of someone
else’s Lord) or BC (before someone
else’s “Saviour” was born) is, at the very least, inappropriate, and in
actuality, offensive and an act of Christian proselytising. Hence, many people,
not just me, use the terms CE – Common Era – and BCE – Before Common Era - which is an official designation (see here).
