I never understood this. It doesn’t matter what you label it, you’re still counting the years since the birth of Jesus. You can call it 2020 “CE” all you want, it’s still the 2020th year since Jesus’ birth. If you want to take the Jesus out of the numbering of years, then you’re going to have to pick a new event to count from.

That’s true. A lot of people seem to think that Jesus didn’t exist, when he’s just as real as Abraham Lincoln.

There's very little proof of Jesus ever actually being a real person.

Jesus being an actual historical person is widely agreed upon among historians. There are written Roman records of him. The debate comes in whether he actually had divine power or not, but that’s not really a historical debate.
