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

But what event triggers this "common era"?

The common era started 7 years ago. There was a significant event that happened that marked a turning point in history. A steady and consistent collapse of conditions has followed since. Everything has mostly taken a turn for the worse and it was forever marked with a tragedy.

The era we live in today is "PH".
