Calling it BC and AD isn't worshipping God or Jesus, really any more than calling it Saturday is worshipping the Roman God Saturn.

  And that’s why I don’t use that name.

  Really the inaccuracy alone would be a decent reason to prefer BCE/CE over BC/AD even if devout.

    BCE/CE at least have the benefit of a consistent language backing them, rather than English for BC and Latin for AD. maybe we drop one vestigial nod to the middle ages and compromise: BC/YL

    What's the inaccuracy? Are you speaking of when Jesus Christ was born? At one point it was based on an estimation of that, but for a long time it has been standardized and isn't related to that anymore. There is a very specific year that is "year 1". I have a bit of an issue with it because it does seem to endorse a religion, but still.
