The abbreviation A.D. (as in 2013 A.D.) means year of the Lord. So it's an inherent piece of the English language, though there are lots of people who prefer C.E. (Common Era) exactly to avoid using a Christian expression.

Not to mention the issue that it should be AD2013, something that virtually no-one ever gets right. At least 2013CE is technically correct.

I also support using 1-10,000HE for 10,000-1BC(E), as it's more sensible to have a calendar that goes forwards rather than backwards, and to avoid the ambiguity of things such as 146-22BC(E).
