From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Secular Era is the new phenomenon that is quickly replacing the Anno Domini system that was in place from 1 AD (or 1980 BSE) to present day. The system is an era assigned by secularists unknown, particularly in the United States. Since approximately 1980 AD, secularism has surfaced in Western countries. This is when Christmas (now known as Holiday) started to get attacked, and the Common era began to arise. Secularists view 1980 AD as the beginning of the secular revolution, therefore have labeled that year as 1 SE (In the Year of Secular Era). Years after and including 1 SE are labeled with SE (In the year of the Secular Era), and years before 1 SE, beginning with 1 BSE are labeled with BSE (Before Secular Era). This is currently the year 26 SE, known also as 2006 AD with the Christian system. Titanic sank in 68 BSE, The American Terrorist attacks occurred on 11 September 21 SE, and the attacks on Pearl Harbor were on 7 December 39 BSE. Lastly, the 208th Winter Olympic Games will be held in Vancouver, Canada, in the year 30 SE (2010 AD).

[edit] Secular movement on Anno Domini

In circa 1980, secularists across America began replacing the original terms of the anno Domini system, which are AD and BC, with BCE and CE, apparently standing for the Common era. However, secularists weren't satisfied with this due to the fact that their "religious-neutral" calendar wasn't really completely neutral. The fact remained that the Common era usage still referred to the birth of Jesus of Nazareth as the dividng line between BCE and CE. This was obviously a problem because of the anti-Christian bias in America, therefore the new Secular Era was divised in 2006.
