Yes you do, when that bit of your life is on AnswerBank (which seems to be quite a lot) Also, I hope you don't 'chose' which side of the road to drive on, pay your taxes or, dare I say, sneeze in someone's face.
To embrace a religion is not to follow "other people's rules", you can make up your own as every Christian does, even Catholics. Nobody can change what you think, that is, unless you're a moron.
