Yet you remained an American.
Funny how it works that way ...
The analogy does not work. I can change churches without uprooting my family and moving out of the country.
I should add that I actually DID move. I left Seattle (My home for 46 years) and bought and moved to a small farm and 32 acres in Rural KY in late 2011. So yes, I will move, when push comes to shove. Seattle politics sucked, and time has proven it was the right move to make.
