Corrected entry: A major part of the movie is that religion is a lie that this world never had. Why then do they use the Gregorian calender? Mark writes movies about the 13th century; 13 centuries after what? If no one has ever believed in God or any god, then the life of Jesus becomes historically insignificant. Certainly not important enough to use the year of his birth as the starting point of the calender.

Correction: This is entirely based on opinion. While, no, religion doesn't exist, it cannot be stated that therefore they cannot use that calendar. Maybe, in their universe, Jesus, while not considered a religious figure, is revered as a great philosopher, hence the decision to base their calendar on his birth year. As no information exists in the movie about why they chose it, but an absence of information does not automatically make a plot hole. At best, this is a question. It's certainly not strong enough to be a mistake.
