BC which stands for Before Christ has been changed to something a little less religious, and a little more accurately description wise. It is now B.C.E. which stands for Before Christian Era. (It also stands for Before Common Era) AD which stands for Anno Domini or Year of Our Lord, has been changed to CE which stands for Common Era or Christian Era. There is no difference date wise, any date that was BC is now the same date but the abbreviation is B.C.E. No matter what, the number stays the same
