That is an interesting thought given that any and all truth may prove to be inconvenient to the listener, and therefore, untimely.

Obviously A.C. Grayling has never served in the infantry, in a war, and had other infantrymen, gunners, sappers, armoured cavalry, and airmen actively try to kill him.  Otherwise, he would know that electricity and religion produce two very different types of energy.   

 

It's also possible he is offering a somewhat prejudiced opinion given his initials are 'AC'

And if his initials had been "DC" would you infer that Grayling read a lot of comic books?

My grandsons would, but I would stick with electricity (DC = direct current).  And with that, we come to the Tesla-Edison feud ( AC/DC: The Tesla–Edison Feud | Mental Floss )

[inkstainedruth]

LoL -- good point.  I had forgotten about the feud between Tesla and Edison.  And of course the joke is that after pooh-poohing Tesla's concept of how to do electric current, Edison basically took it over....
