Some historians have rejected the labels BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, Latin for "in the year of our Lord") due to their Western-centric and religious connotations, which may not accurately reflect the diverse perspectives of global histories. They argue that these terms can alienate non-Christian cultures and fail to encompass the complexities of historical narratives beyond the scope of Christianity. As a result, alternative designations like BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era) are often preferred for their secular nature and inclusivity.
