I disagree.
I think that if you're used to reading Java, C, or Lua, it's probably easier for you to read python than lisp. This has to do with the fact they form their data-model of code similarly, not because their syntax is similar.
Likewise, if you're used to reading forth, reading postscript or factor is a small step.
However, I think that if you don't know how to read any of these- that is, if you're a nonprogrammer, then lisp is probably easiest simply because there is simply less of it to read.
