Yeah.
Also, Letting your religion define you to an extent is inevitable. But it's always going to be "Gim's Christianity" or "Jochistan's Islam". Not as if the religion as a whole belongs to you, but in the sense where the religion, no matter how hard you try, will become your version of it.
Still, I wouldn't parade it around too much, even if it is part of you, That would defeat the purpose, I think.
