CE

The abbreviation CE (for "Common Era") is used in AngloSaxon countries to denote years counted from the traditional reckoning of the birth of Christ. It is equivalent to AD (for "Anno Domini"), but is preferred by some academics who claim it does not force the reader or writer to accept any Christian theological claims. They say it is is significant because it recognizes that many people in modern society are not of the Christian faith. The symbol "CE" is often placed after the year rather than before (that is, the year "AD 100" is written "100 CE").
However, some also believe the "C" in CE and BCE to stand for "Christian".
