You want me to use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD because its too 'religious'

But what event triggers this "common era"?

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Luckily archaeology is becoming more and more necessary for modern historians to acknowledge.

They try their hardest not to. That being said, it is likely that Constantine was baptized on his deathbed, but we also don't know for sure, but it is clear from what writings we have that he had that elite understanding of sin that you were talking about, so it could have been popularized by that point.

Hard to say.
