And if you actually were, just vote if you do or not.

I vote no because:
1-I dislike legalistic religious practices and
2-If I was raised non-Christian I would've converted.

If you were Jewish, attending Yom Kippur services is the one thing you do not skip out on.  Period.  The point I stopped going to Yom Kippur is about the point that I realized I wasn't really Jewish anymore at all.

Well as said, I'd almost certainly have converted to Christianity anyway so that would apply.

You would still be Jewish though. Anyone whose mother is a Jew is a Jew, belief has nothing to do with it.

I really dislike "ethnoreligion" and basically refuse to recognize it. Also based on this logic what happens if a girl raised Jewish converts and then gets married and has her own kids that she raises Christian. Are those kids also Jewish even though no one in the family would identify as a Jew?

Yeah I get that such a person would remain still Ashkenazi or Sephardic ethnically, but to still insist on them being still a Jew is kind of absurd. In the example above the children of the hypothetical convert wouldn't know much about Judaism even, and if any are male they might not even be circumcised. They are certainly half-Ashkenazi (most likely if it's in the US as we are assuming) ethnically, but by no useful standard are they "Jews".

I was reminded if this recently.

And no, it sounds miserable just like Ramadan. Hence why I say a hypothetical Muslim or Jewish BRTD would've converted to emergent Christianity.

That's simply not true. Basic personality traits would remain intact.
