You want me to use BCE and CE instead of BC and AD because its too 'religious'

But what event triggers this "common era"?

The present time period is full of modern mystery cults, and a lot of them claim to be secular too. Just about every "lifestyle coach" crank and self described "guru" is roughly that, and some take it even further into culty grounds, such as "NXIVM" and "LessWrong."

Basically, imagine if Andrew Tate was crucified but the then some tax accountant on his way to, idk, Rotterdam, had a vision and started preaching his word, setting up Tatist communities across Europe.

except Tate is much more comparable to Jupiter or Mars in his messaging

Honestly, Tates messaging isn't even as comprehensible as that. At least Mars and Jupiter had the whole empire building thing going. His was literally just toxic masc libertarian nonsense without even the fetterings of intellectualism that most libertarian nonsense has. Basically a non-ethos.

I actually don't know what he says beyond the fact he seems to be a violent pimp

Oh materialy speaking, that's what he does, but what he says and streams are just incoherent nonsense.
