I got into an argument that Jews and Jewish scholars, however much they may have resented the preference in Western society for BC/AD, it was now more an issue mostly for secular academics who did not want as strong a religious foundation for our dating system. The issue is now that it is religious, not tyhat its use is perceived as antisemitic. I based this on both online and live discussions, with both everyday and academic Jews, who tended to shrug off BC/AD. They do not regard it as antisemitic. They likely would if someone were to make a biog deal about it, such as if Donald Trump were to declare that all government documents, no matter the context, were required to be in the old form. That would arouse suspicions. I am guessing about that, but I think it likely.
My disputant stated that BC/AD was considered antisemitic among Jewish academics. The argument went to related places but we did not go much longer on that in specific. I felt he was not understanding a distinction I was making, but no matter. That bears on this discussion only slightly. He is an academic and knows more Jewish academics than I do, and it would come up in his specialty. I know psychology researchers, med school researchers, and online I have heard academics in genetics, history, literature and other liberal arts. His numbers would be greater.
Yet it occurs to me that even outside of the cross-understanding, I may have been wrong in my original premise. What do you know from your own experience. Granted that it may have been Jewish scholars who originally pushed for the change and both secular and practicing Christians who led the acceptance, what is the situation in 2025? Is there any energy in popular intellectual or academic discussion on the topic now?
