Atheists are (somewhat successfully, unfortunately) converting the date structure already.

Heard of CE and BCE? "Common Era" and "Before Common Era"

The Christophobia continues to astound. But it was foretold, obviously.

I hate that new BCE and CE baloney. It's a blatant attempt to disavow that humans mark years based on the birth of Christ (even if off a few years). Pure political correctness. Thankfully, no matter what it is called, the dating will still remain as the first century beginning when Jesus was born.

BCE stands for "Before Christ's Emergence" and CE stands for "Christ's Emancipation", I thought everyone knew that.
