Petition Reinstate the use of AD/BC by BBC

More details

The Corporation is replacing the familiar AD (Anno Domini) and BC (Before Christ) with the obscure terms Common Era and Before Common Era to avoid offending non-Christians.

Surely by refusing to use 'BC' and 'AD' they are offending Christians? This is a Christian country afterall.
