Until we can explain this experience using words, how will we ever manage to convince people who are religious, that it is something else, that can be explained with Science.
Can you see the problem?
If the experience cannot be defined correctly, how do you explain it?
The point is to not use that experience as a way of convincing them. He says that the reason we don't have a word to describe it is because religion steals these experiences and calls them religious. If I tried to describe my similar experiences then they would sound like religious experiences.
We don't need to bring in these types of experience to convince theists, we need only constantly barrage them with the evidence until their reason kicks in.
