I can choose to raise either my left or right hand; but I can't choose to believe that 2+2 != 5
One can choose a belief, be it Wicca or Islam, because there is more than one option from which to choose. I am not stating that the choice to believe in the religion is rational, but there is a choice to either believe or not believe. Any time there is more than one option from which to choose, a choice must be made to either believe in one of the multiple religions available or to not believe in any of them. It is that simple.
