BCE?

While helping Anna study for AP World History I came across something I didn't understand. In her book it had a date and 3 letters behind it...(3000 BCE). I asked Anna what BCE stood for and she said it meant Before Common Era. Seriously? Apparently "they" don't use BC (before CHRIST) any more because "they" are taking religion out of history. Really??? How is it even possible to take religion out of history? I asked Anna what was being used instead of AD and she said ACE (After Common Era). Of course...
What is this world coming too? They can't use BC/AD but can study evolution in Biology. Does anybody else see something wrong with this?
