Why do we use them, why and when did we change and what does it mean for the history and heritage of Britain?

Before Christ or Before the Christian Era is pretty much the same thing, at least for me.

I always understood BCE to mean Before the Common Era and BC is Before Christ.
Jewish people preferred BCE.
