I would go further and say neither is something you are or aren't and one can't voluntarily "switch" because it's not binary.
What you're happy doing is a matter of the people around you, the environment you are in, and the person you are.
I think for most people it would be possible to plunk them into non-supernatural, not too different from present scenarios and have them be happy either way or unhappy either way.
Again, to be clear -- I'm just describing a perception. My own belief is rather like what you outline here -- that context defines much of the basis for even asking the question, let alone the spectrum of behaviours you'll find in humans living in that context.
