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.

I've heard both Clintons, Kerry, Dean, Gore and all of the other leftists refer to God many times and no, I don't think the magnitude of our Lord means anything to them.
