You want me to use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD because its too ‘religious’
But what event triggers this “common era”?

Also iirc Christian scholars are still debating Jesus’ birth and whatnot, meaning BC/AD are in possible flux, while B/CE standardizes the calendar.
Yes, because the gospels fundamentally contradict. One gospel mentions King Herod killing babies but he died in 4 BCE. Another gospel talks about a census as the reason Mary & Joseph were in Bethlehem, but the first Roman census in that region was in 6 CE (and it was for Judah, not Galilee where Bethlehem was but the author just likely screwed that up).
