This quote is is actually false in the case for the supernatural. A person does not choose to not believe in fairies as if it were an intellectual choice. Without compelling evidence non-belief is the default, intellectually honest position. I don't choose to not believe in unicorns, I just withheld belief because there is no evidence. A choice involves at least two possible and viable outcomes or propositions. This quote has the effect of trying to either shift the burden of proof or legitimize non-rational choices by making a false equivalency between two things.
Or perhaps it was merely a cheeky quote because I am a rush fan.
