Very interesting history lesson. Thank you.

Should not the last bullet point paragraph state 2024 vs 2023?

Absolutely! I'll edit to reflect Before Christ and Anno Domini

Being the non-conformist and contrarian that I am, I too share the preference for BC and AD. It also may be due to my age. 😊

"Why Have Some People Adopted BCE/CE? An important reason for adopting BCE/CE is religious neutrality. Since the Gregorian calendar has superseded other calendars to become the international standard, members of non-Christian groups may object to the explicitly Christian origins of BC and AD."

Jesus is not about religion. He came for all!!!

Gary, completely agree! If I ever use BCE/CE for scholastic paper reasons, I define them as "Before the Christian Era" and "After the Christian Era." But, like you, I much prefer BC and AD.
