I bristle at the use of CE and BCE instead of AD and BC. "Seems that BC and AD are no longer used by religious scholars because their meanings are too religious." It's a cute irony, but I, personally, find nothing ironic in the fact that a Hebrew University professor chooses not to refer to Anno Domini (The year of our Lord).

Maybe a better idea would be to just say 1938 years ago.
That would be compatible with which ever arbitrary starting point man can invent.
