Actually, I believe the BCE determination was meant to be acceptable to believers of all faiths, not just ChristiansDo believers of all faiths accept the months named after Roman Gods: January (Janus), March (Mars), June (Juno)? Or is it just the Christian faith that they find unacceptable? If so, how interesting!

Want complex? Orthodox Christians don't even acceptthe Gregorian "update" of the Julian! I think Napoleon won a battle once because the coalition failed to make clear that the date for the arrival of the Russians was needed in by the Gregorian standard. The Russians arrived on time--by their reckoning but too late to help their allies against Napoleon though.
