I feel the same way. It's just another example of the secular progressives doing whatever they can to erase all references to religion in this country.

“BP” (Before Present) makes the most sense.

BC and AD replaced “The Year of our Lord”, so you were already using the scaled down more secular version.

The article is about Jews in Israel. Jews have been using "BCE" and "CE" since the 19th century, as a way of using the same calendar as our gentile neighbors without affirming a faith that isn't ours.
