CE = Common Era.

Seems that BC and AD are no longer used by religious scholars because their meanings are too religious.

BCE and CE are the new political correct way to say BC and AD. Remember, we can't be mentioning God or Jesus. It might insult Jews, Muslims, or heaven forbid, atheists.

As a historian, it is a pain in the butt because all my papers have to say BCE/CE but I still use BC and AD in speaking.

"Common Era" (CE) = AD, "Before the Common Era" (BCE) = BC. Even 10-15 yrs ago it was in use in Catholic high schools.

Before that, I'd never encountered such a ridiculous thing.
