I'd argue that because of the lightweightness of Lisp syntax compared to C-like languages, Lisp languages are easier to read. But then I'm a professional Clojure developer who used to do Golang, JavaScript and some other languages, but since couple of years ago only do Clojure and ClojureScript development, so I'm obviously biased.

But then Python is probably the worst example to compare Lisps to, as Python sees whitespace as a significant character that can affect if the program can run or not.
