I suppose it depends on what you mean by 'faith'. If you mean 'believing ideas for which the evidence is weak', it seems to me that's pretty easy, as demonstrated by the billions of humans who have adopted such ideas and made them The Truth. If you mean 'trusting something that doesn't look solid, but for which you have intuition and experience that says it's trustworthy', that is considerably more difficult. Very challenging, in fact.

easy, not

I find it pretty difficult to ignore facts and evidence and pretty difficult to believe that there is a supreme God that controls the entire universe. It would be incredibly hard for me to believe that the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and Humpty-Dumpty exist but that is what faith calls for. I find it very easy to use my five senses and common sense to observe and learn about the natural world. I would say that it would be much harder for me to have religious faith because it is not based on common sense and logic which should come naturally.
