Presumably the quote is from a theist, but I think it's probably true. Superstition is easy - it's intellectual laziness, an unwillingness to think things through, examine evidence, question what your religious leaders tell you to believe, examine your own beliefs and instincts. Rational thought is not necessarily easy, it doesn't necessarily come naturally, and that's why it's so important for us to help and encourage people to think for themselves. This is the answer to the perennial question of why atheists have to be in the R&S section - so that fewer people may think that it's OK to take the easy way out.
