Do you like this phrase regarding why religious people believe nonsense; “Fear trumps logic in lesser minds”?

It means that people with rational minds are more likely to think logically and react rationally than people with lesser minds who are more likely to panic and jump to false and superstitious conclusions. People with lesser minds are more likely to invent invisible gods to explain the things they don’t understand and of which they are afraid. Do you think the phrase “Fear trumps logic in lesser minds” explains succinctly the reason why religious people try to explain reality with myths and superstition rather than with science and reason?
