Christian culture and Roman calendar synergy has very little to currently manifesting judeo Christian anything.
Roman Catholic and Eastern orthodox might be closest simply because of the Council of Nicceas lineage and the later schism in the church that split east and west.
All this born again Christian prophecy based hype has the least to do historically with who has rights to the western roman/Constantine refined portions of culture which give us this AD starting point.
"In the year of the lord" does refer to Christ.
I would say it’s a cultural thing.
Just like Greek and Roman art is inseparable from out day to day life, common conversation and nightlife and styles in 'western' societies.
I mean atheists still eat Greek food and imp sure wouldn’t mind cultural festival including religious re-enactments, if they do then they are sorely mistaken where a lot of common symbology and basic human ethics is derived from.
