If religion had not happened at all what would the year be?

I’m not starting another is religion true/false thread. This is just a hypothetical bit of fun.Ok If religion never got started in the first place what would be the year? It wouldn’t be 2005 cause there wouldn’t have been the birth of Christ to pin year zero on.How would we count the years and from when would we count them? What event would we use as the moment to start counting?I would probably have to choose full planetary alignments (all in a row), which are rare enough, but would you re set the count after each one or pick just one.Also what if BC and AD hold no meaning would BCE and CE be applicable or would we use something else.Anyway so long as you hold the assumption that religion never happened what would the year be?Have fun
