Whether it is insipid hyper-tolerance or maniacal political correctness that has led to removing “BC” and “AD” for fearing it will offend:
A BBC textbook about the life of Christ does not include a single reference to the terms BC and AD – because of fears they could offend non-Christians.
The BBC’s GCSE religious studies guide, which focuses exclusively on Christianity, instead uses the ‘religiously neutral’ terms Before Common Era (BCE) and Common Era (CE).
or removing a cross because it supposedly offends:
The mayor of Whiteville, Tenn. said his community is under attack from a national atheist organization that is threatening to sue unless they remove a cross atop the town’s water tower.
One thing is certain: the expunging of that which inspired the best in a civilisation’s morality, culture, art and laws will lead inexorably to the death of that civilisation.
I have seen a newsreel clip of Mackenzie King urging Canadian men to join the fight against Hitler as it was their “Christian duty”. It seems we lost our best men in the two great wars and most of the ones that were left at home seems to have produced a mewling spawn that have no understanding of what it takes to keep us free.

Hitler in the first comment! Godwin’s Law in impressively quick action.
Hitler’s SS troops carried “Gott mit uns” inscribed on their belt buckles. All parties in WWII were happy to invoke God on their side. The Japanese had a living God in their emperor and the Russians a functional replacement for one in Stalin.
Your comment about Russia and Stalin is simply not accurate. The Soviet State was very active in its effort to remove anything and everything religous. Stalin was never portrayed as any type of a god figure. A supreme leader yes, but never anything resembling a god.
