Should we replace the birth of Christ as the dividing line on the calendar?

The Kentucky Board of Education has voted to take the first step

in redefining how America dates time. The board voted to include a new secular system of dating the calendar, BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era), and added it to the BC (Before Christ) and AD (Anno Domini, Latin for ';in the year of our Lord';) method. The new secular system of time dating will appear in the curriculum and other materials used by Kentucky educators thereby replacing the birth of Christ as history's dividing line. The system is being included in textbooks across the nation.

The new system would change 2006 AD (Anno Domini) to 2006 CE (Common Era). The thinking is that AD and BC are a violation of the constitution because of religious preferance.Should we replace the birth of Christ as the dividing line on the calendar?
No I do not. We shouldn't replace something that's been in place for 2000 years (I think) just to be ';politaclly correct';.
