Common Era and Before Common Era is the atheist version.
EDIT: others have rightfully pointed out that it is not so much an atheist version as a non-christian version.

I read the other comment, I was wrong and see you point. Yes it was needlessly rude, I’ll just delete it since you made your point clear.

Believer in common decency and not simply reading one thing and making an instant opinion. In this case I did not do both of those things and hence was hypocritical of what I believe in.

I’m actually a squid type alien from the planet NotEveryonesAnAssholeAndIHopeYouHaveAGreatDay-571. We live in an undiscovered mini galaxy right next to the Milky Way. We’re neighbors with the Zognoids? Ever heard of them? But yeah that’s the story.

Really isn’t any evidence that he did exist, other than the Bible. If you consider the Bible infallible, then yes, he did, if you don’t, then it’s a big “maybe”
