BCE means "before the common era."
It is a religion neutral way of saying "before Christ."

Before Common Era. Yes, the denominator is still there but it makes more sense in this time of globalism to have a world historical calendar.

BCE, you might notice, still has BC in it. It's a facade to appease the secular folk who disagree with counting the years by the birth of some guy who wasn't the son of god. A half-assed fake attempt at being unbiased.

An attempt at political correctness since the common calendar hails from the Catholic Church.

BCE actually stands for Before Common Era.
If you are trying to prove your God by making the assertion that God must be real because even our Calandar mentions him, have you ever heard of the Chinese calandar?

Because most of the world doesn't consider Jesus to be of any great significance, but it would be convenient for us all to use the same calendar.

Not really... It's just easier to not change our dating system. It's always been a *****, with computers and everything it'd just be worse.
