They wanted to inject their religion into culture and constantly remind everyone about it. It certainly does not define what is or is not a religion.
Yup and this Human Era calendar idea has the same reasoning. It’s just how religious people think.
Non-religious people just don’t care about these kinds of things. What’s more important is to have a standard, having different groups of people having different calendars causes a lot of confusion.
Also my calendar uses Arabic numerals, is that imposing Arabic culture on me? Or is it just that it’s convenient we all use the same numbers and roman numerals suck, so we went over to another system that worked better and it’s more important to use the same numbers than get upset over where they originated from? We could be using some other system base 10 with different symbols and it would just as well. But for historical reasons this is the number system we have, everyone uses it, and it would be a confusing pain and the ass the change it. And why would we? Because we hate anything to do with Arabs?
Same logic applies to the calendar. It’s important we have a standard and changing it would be a confusing pain in the ass. Why would we? Because some people hate Christians?
