"Not just the Godless Left. Devout Jews also use the BCE denomination..."
I doubt it. Orthodox Jews use the Jewish calendar with Jewish years.
On the other hand, there are no doubt many liberal Jews who will gladly sign on to BCE and CE designations.

Orthodox and non Orthodox Jewish scholars and authors that live outside Israel use B.C.E. So do many others who are not Jewish or Leftists.
