Grammar

What's your religion?

Hi teachers,

Could you possibly help me ask a question about somebody's religion l and answer such a question:

Can I ask:" What's your religion/faith?"
And Can I answer: " I'm (a) Buddhist/(a) Catholic/(a)protestant/(a) Muslim/(a) HIndu.

Please let me know whether an indefinite article''a" can be dropped.

Thank you in advance

Honestly, without any intention of implying a backhanded compliment on EF's merits, this one of MM's comment was the most helpful in my relationship with EF. (Do not worry, I am not back, just one comment.)
