I actually was asking a clarifying question, Carol....
When I think about my lifestyle, I think about going to sleep early, 
and my main sources of recreation walking and hiking in the Redwoods 
and on the beaches with the children and other children appropriate 
activities...

So I was trying to be clear about what you were saying, and you 
responded that you were actually talking about religion.

Anyway, "lifestyle" has historically been used as in the "gay 
lifestyle", and the person is assuming that all lesbians and gays 
have multiple partners, wild romantic and sexual lives, and have sex 
in the bushes...and that it's a choice. That's also why orientation 
has replaced preference.
