Anno Domini (Latin : "In the year of (Our) Lord"[1]), abbreviated as AD, defines an epoch based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth. AD is also an abbreviation for Christian Era.[2] Similarly, Before Christ (from the Ancient Greek "Christos" or "Anointed One", referring to Jesus), abbreviated as BC, is used in the English language to denote years before the start of this epoch.
That is all true, but that is not a unique part of America either. America was formed on the foundation of freedom. The very first of the Bill of Rights sets freedom of religion and there continues to be many religions in America today. With this in mind, it would be more proper to say that this country was founded on many religions and not imply that a specific one contributed more than others.
