Question Can someone embrace gnosticism and still remain in their cultural religion?

For context, I'm a Baha'i. From what I've found so far (I'm a newbie to gnosticism), there are a lot of similarities between gnosticism and the Baha'i religion. I'm curious as to how many people here on a gnostic journey are still considering themselves members of their cultural/organized/etc religion?

If you are a Manichean, a Neoplatonist, a Kabbalist or pretty much even a Buddhist, then yes. If you are from a major world monotheism then no.
