1) Judaism isn't like being a citizen of a country, which one could renounce. If you're Jewish, you're Jewish. So the answer is yes.
2) However, we do have free choice (Deuteronomky 30:15-20). One can choose not to live as a Jew. In that case, the "flame" of one's religion flickers and diminishes....but it never dies out. One can always return (do teshuva). Very many Jews today were born into non-religious families and chose to return to the Torah of the Jewish people.
3) If a Jew becomes a believer in Christianity ("Jews for Jesus;" messianic Jews), the consensus in the Jewish community is that he/she has ceased being Jewish. The same applies to Buddhism and other non-Jewish beliefs. Nonetheless, even such a person can do teshuva (return to Judaism).
Let me tell you a true story, which took place some four decades ago. A good friend of mine (this was before we had met), who was born Jewish but knew nothing of his religion, decided to live as a Buddhist. He began practicing it fully, learning it, etc. Eventually he traveled to the Far East, where he invested a great deal of effort in seeking out a venerated Guru, who lived on a remote mountaintop. When he at long last reached the goal of his journey and told the guru a little about himself, the guru said to him: "but have you explored your own religion?"
This fellow is today a well-known rabbi here in Israel.

technically a "jew" is saying to someone about their religion like saying their a jew. but saying it about them you say "they are jewish".
Jewish law specifies that a Jew is a person who was born to a Jewish woman or who has converted to Judaism as per Jewish law.
Jesus was a Jew because he was born to a Jewish mother and observed Jewish rituals.
-- A person is not a Jew unless born of a Jewish mother. -- There is no "also".
A person who is born to a Jewish woman or who halachicly (following Jewish law) converts to Judaism is a Jew.
According to Jewish law, a person who is born to a Jewish woman or who converts according to Jewish law, is a Jew. If your father is Jewish but your mother is not, Jewish law does not consider you to be a Jew unless you convert. The reform movement accepts children born to a Jewish man and non-Jewish woman as Jews if they are raised as Jews.
