I'm not sure it was created because atheists didn't like it though, but to make the dating system less focused on one single religion. But I do think it is kind of stupid alright though (and I'm an atheist).
If you're going to change it then you should also change the starting year. What makes 1 AD the start of a new era? Plus there's lots of words we have that have originated from different religions, like the months and days.
BCE instead of BC and AD
