In all fairness, "In the year of our Lord" was generally used on all formal documents at the time.And what does that say about society at the time? I have a hard time imagining any atheist or other non-Christian saying "in the year of our Lord". AD I can see, because A and D are just two letters of the alphabet. But I can't imagine anyone uttering that full phrase without understanding the import of it. Maybe it's just me.
