I think they use BCE because it’s a Jewish publication.

"BCE" and "CE" originated with Jews, not atheists.

We recognize the authority of the Almighty, but we don’t recognize the authority of Christ - BC stands for “Before Christ,” so why should we use that abbreviation any more than you’d use the Islamic calendar for dates?

I seriously doubt the author is an athiest. It’s an Israeli publication.

I never liked “AD”, I prefer “the year of our Lord” as is used in our Constitution.

I love how allegedly "religious" chr*stians, in suppressing the Biblical calendar enumeration, support evolution.

This is the year 5768 from Adam.
