Default BCE/CE BC/AD and other stuff about dates.

How much effect, in terms of percentage, does the imediate view of the year we live in have to do with the number of people that claim to be religious? That is what is the percentage of persons that the perfered frame of reference for time includes a starting point given by God provides a tipping point of them identifying themselves as being religious? For some strange reason I believe it to be large. Some where about 1/2 of the religious population wouldn't be religious if the start year did not reference god somehow.

Edit: I really screwed this one up. It's the other way around most likely. People use a start date referencing God becuase they believe in God, not the other way around. I've moved the line to about 2 to 3%.
