Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
C!.E!. had originated from Europe as early as 1615!. The years used for this system are the same used in the Anno Domini system!. Common Era notation has been adopted in several non-Christian cultures, by many scholars in religious studies and other academic fields,and by others wishing to be sensitive to non-Christians,because Common Era does not explicitly make use of religious titles for Jesus, such as Christ and Lord, which are used in the AD/BC notation!. In the United States, the usage of the BCE/CE notation is growing!. Supporters of Common Era notation promote it as a religiously neutral notation suited for cross-cultural communication due to compatibility with religious toleration and religious pluralism!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
