a lot of people are pointing out today that if you want to understand how bedrock Christian hegemony is to our society:
every time you write or type the date, in the year 2020, you are affirming that the most important event in humanity& #39;s existence was Jesus& #39;s birth

And yes, I absolutely understand and agree with the point that we need some sort of universal calendar in a global society
and I don& #39;t mind that it& #39;s this one
but that doesn& #39;t change that our world defines *time* by Christian frameworks

(personally, I hope we someday replace the Gregorian calendar with one that centers around the birth of the internet)
but when people from non-Christian cultures try to talk to you about how baseline Christianity is to western culture and the way all of us in it think, even if you are not a believing Christian, this is a prime example of those assumptions
